HOW BISON GRADING WORKS

 
The Canadian bison grading system is a valuable tool, implemented by the bison industry to set a comparable standard in carcass quality for Canadian bison, enforced by independent certified graders the day after slaughter. Though it is a mandatory condition for any exports of Canadian bison to Europe only, we at Rangeland are one of the few marketers that voluntarily get almost all bison graded which are harvested at Canadian Premium Meats.
 
Canadian Bison Grading includes three grade levels based on the harvested animal’s age and finishing levels:
 
Grade A: youthful animal, excellent to good muscling, fat color white to amber, firm, meat color bright red, fat measurement >2mm
Grade B: youthful animal, excellent to medium muscling, fat color white to yellow, firm, meat color bright to dark red, fat measurement <2mm Grade D: mature animals, excellent to medium muscling, no requirements for fat and meat color
