Calculating the yield grade of an animal is simple and quick. Just
follow these steps:
|
| |
|
-
Launch the Beef Yield Grade Calculator from the Start menu.
-
In the Live Weight field enter the weight of the animal in pounds.
-
In the Rib Eye Area field enter the animal's rib eye area in square inches.
-
In the Fat Over Rib Eye field enter the animal's fat over the rib eye in tenths if an inch, using decimal format.
-
In the Kidney, Pelvic, and Heart Fat field enter the animal's kidney, pelvic, and heart fat percentage, using decimal format.
-
Press Calculate and the animal's yield grade will display in the Yield Grade
field.
-

animal.

For those of you who prefer not to use the mouse:
|
| |
|
-
The TAB key will move the cursor from field to field.
-
The ENTER key will move through the fields. ENTER in the KPH field will automatically
calculate the yield grade and return you to the Live Weight field. This saves the
extra step of pressing Calculate.
-
As you enter a field, using ENTER or TAB in place of the mouse,
the contents of the field are highlighted allowing a new value to be entered
without clearing the previous value. This saves the extra step of pressing Clear
Fields.
