I raised purebred cattle and only purebred is given prime rating. It is only sold to high end hotels and restaurants as the cost of purchasing purebred cattle and feeding them is very expensive verses dairy cross. 95% of cattle are dairy cross which the highest rating is choice. I beg to differ but you will NOT get prime at Costco. A dairy cow must have a calf every year to produce milk. They are bred to a beef, Hereford or Angus for example, thus producing a dairy cross.
