6. PADDOCK-TO-PLATE QUALITY ASSURANCE SYSTEMS
The Australian meat and livestock industry has
developed a series of integrated Quality Assurance
(QA) programs across the supply chain. On the
ranch and feedlot, programs such as CATTLECARE
and the National Feedlot Accreditation Scheme
ensure that health and production controls are
in place to promote beef product quality and
meat safety. Australia’s integrated QA system
begins with Property Identification Codes (PICs).
Each ranch in Australia is issued a unique PIC by
State Governments, and the PIC identifies each
land holding and its regional location. Cattle
raised on the land holding must have tail/ear tags
bearing the PIC. Animals remain correlated to
their PICs until they are deemed fit for human
consumption by government inspectors. This
correlation guarantees that any problems can
be quickly and easily traced back to the property
on which they occurred and corrective action
can be implemented. Further linking cattle
production to the meat processing sector is the
National Vendor Declarations (NVDs), a statutory
declaration by cattle ranchers as to the health and
safety of animals sold for processing, including
information regarding management and usage of
agricultural and veterinary chemicals. Australia
has also developed a new program of electronic
cattle identification. The National Livestock
Identification System (NLIS) electronically stores
the PICs in a database, allowing for whole-of-life
cattle identification. On the processing side, all
Australian export meat packers operate under a
HACCP plan, and each plant has its own Meat FROM OUR SHORES TO YOURS

8. ALL ABOUT AUSTRALIAN BEEF
Australian beef has the “natural advantage.” Our cattle graze on open
pasture and most are exclusively range fed. Australia has nearly 28 million
head of cattle, and our breeds are divided into two main varieties—temperate
breeds and tropical breeds.
Temperate breeds of cattle are generally European derived—breeds such as Hereford and
Angus. Cattle of this variety are most predominant in the southern parts of the country,
where the climate is milder and the land is rich, fertile and abundant in pasture.
Tropical breeds of cattle are generally derived from Bos Indicus type breeds, such as
Brahman and Droughtmaster. These breeds are ideal for Australia’s northern areas, which
are tropical with monsoon rains in the summer.
GRASS FED BEEF
In Australia, most cattle are raised and fattened exclusively on pasture.
Variations in seasonal and geographic factors influence the style and quality of
grass fed beef. Australian grass fed beef is lean. It is favored by many consumers
because it is healthy, low in fat and cholesterol, and contains higher levels of
Omega 3 fatty acids, which are thought to lower blood pressure and reduce the
risks of some cancers. This is principally why grass fed beef is spearheading a
“natural foods” revolution in North America, with demand growing in retail
and foodservice sectors.
9. IT STARTS
WITH THE
CATTLE
GRAIN FED BEEF
Grain fed beef is derived from cattle that have been fed on a nutritionally balanced, high energy finished
ration for a minimum specified number of days. This feeding regime results in a more consistent product
and enhanced marbling, which contributes to improved tenderness, juiciness and flavor. Grain fed beef
from Australia generally yields more consistent fat and meat color, to which North American operators
may be more accustomed. Typical feeding regimes in Australia are: short fed (100 to 150 days), medium
fed (150 to 200 days) and long fed (200+ days). Australian grain fed beef is highly regarded in many
export markets, and Australia has developed a reputation for producing some of the best grain fed beef
in the world.
LEAN MANUFACTURING BEEF
Australia produces an ample supply of lean manufacturing beef for further processing. Australian beef
continues to satisfy the demanding needs of processors and their customers in North America and around
the world. With its terrific versatility, Australian beef can be used to produce everything from hamburger
patties to coarse ground beef to meat balls, roast beef and pastrami, to name just a few.
Australian lean manufacturing beef has consistent fat-to-lean ratios (chemical lean) for manufacturing
packs, low micro counts and extremely low rejection rates. Australian manufacturing cuts are lean and
closely trimmed to specifications. Manufacturing cuts for further processing are available in both frozen
and chilled (fresh) form.
10. HOW TO BUY AUSTRALIAN BEEF
UNDERSTANDING THE AUS-MEAT LANGUAGE
Ordering Australian beef is simple and understanding the AUS-MEAT
language is the first step.
AUS-MEAT is an industry-funded organization responsible for establishing and maintaining Australian
meat specifications. The AUS-MEAT language is a uniform specification language for Australian meat
products that enables importers and wholesalers to accurately specify the meat product they wish to
purchase from an exporter or seller. The AUS-MEAT language is outlined in detail in the AUS-MEAT
Handbook of Australian Meat (HAM).
The AUS-MEAT language is based on product description and objective measurements of various
carcass traits, such as hot weight, fat depth, sex and age of the animal.
AUS-MEAT has assigned a distinct four-digit number—Handbook Of Meat, or HAM number—for
every primal cut and offal product. The category descriptions and HAM numbers are vital components
when ordering Australian beef.
11. Chiller assessment is conducted by qualified company personnel,
and company chiller assessment programs are regularly audited by
AUS-MEAT to ensure their integrity.

12. ORDERING AUSTRALIAN BEEF
THERE ARE THREE EASY STEPS TO ORDERING AUSTRALIAN BEEF
STEP 1: DEFINE THE CATEGORY OR ALTERNATE CATEGORY
As a first step to ordering Australian beef, you should let your supplier know the desired age and sex of
the cattle that will be processed into your desired beef cuts. This specification is known as the category.
There are two options available when defining the category. If you aren’t too concerned about the age of
the animal or the variability of meat quality, you can define beef by basic categories.
BASIC CATEGORIES
If you want... The category code is... What this means...
MEAT FROM CATTLE WITH NO ADULT TEETH.
VEAL V TYPICALLY, LESS THAN 70KG (154 LBS) DRESSED
WEIGHT. CAN BE MALE OR FEMALE.
MEAT FROM CATTLE WITH BETWEEN 0 AND 8
BEEF A ADULT TEETH. TYPICALLY, GREATER THAN 70KGS
(154 LBS). CAN BE CASTR ATED MALE OR FEMALE.
MEAT FROM CATTLE WITH BETWEEN 0 AND 8
BULL B ADULT TEETH. MUST BE UNCASTR ATED MALE.
However, if you are looking for meat that has been derived from animals of a certain age and therefore
exhibits less variance in quality, you can define meat by alternative categories. You will notice that the
criteria used to define alternate categories are more narrowly specified than those for basic categories.
13. ALTERNATIVE CATEGORIES
If you want... The category code is... What this means...
YEARLING BEEF OR -NO ADULT TEETH
YEARLING STEER Y OR YS -UP TO 18 MONTHS OF AGE*
-MAY BE MALE OR FEMALE IF Y, BUT MUST BE MALE IF YS
-0,1, OR 2 ADULT TEETH
YOUNG BEEF OR
-UP TO 30 MONTHS OF AGE*
YOUNG STEER YG OR YGS
-MAY BE MALE OR FEMALE IF YG, BUT MUST BE MALE IF YGS
YOUNG PRIME BEEF -BETWEEN 0 AND 4 ADULT TEETH
OR YOUNG PRIME YP OR YPS -UP TO 36 MONTHS OF AGE*
STEER -MAY BE MALE OR FEMALE IF YP, BUT MUST BE MALE IF YPS
PRIME BEEF OR -BETWEEN 0 AND 7 ADULT TEETH
PRIME STEER PR OR PRS -UP TO 42 MONTHS OF AGE*
-MAY BE MALE OR FEMALE IF PR, BUT MUST BE MALE IF PRS
-BETWEEN 0 AND 7 ADULT TEETH
OX (FEMALE) S -UP TO 42 MONTHS OF AGE*
-MUST BE FEMALE
OX (MALE) OR -BETWEEN 0 AND 8 ADULT TEETH
STEER S OR SS -MAY BE ANY AGE
-MUST BE MALE
-8 ADULT TEETH
COW C -OVER 42 MONTHS OF AGE*
-MUST BE FEMALE * Stated ages are approximate.
STEP 2: DEFINE THE PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
A product specification defines attributes of each product. When defining the specification to
your supplier, you might include the following:
• The cut name you wish to purchase
• The product or cut’s corresponding Handbook of Australian Meat (HAM) number
• Grass fed or grain fed
• Degree of marbling, fat color and meat color
• Fat depth, degree of trimming, whether various muscles and bones remain intact
or are removed
STEP 3: DEFINE OTHER REQUIREMENTS
Requirements not specifically related to the product specification should also be defined.
These requirements may include:
• Chilled or frozen product
• Packaging (vacuum packed, layer packed, multi packed, etc.)
• Price
• Quantity
• Shipping terms
• Delivery date
