I get beef from SAM'S club. Only their Black Angus though. You have to look at it closely for they sometimes give new meaning to Butcher. The SAMS club in north Tampa is very good for steaks.

It is, or was, shown on the menu. That is the grade below choice. I'm not aware of any place selling meat of that low quality grade.

I'm not sure but to make a prime grade, the meat is not only selected but it is aged.

The USDA grades beef in the packing plants (I've seen it done in the plant). The three most common for restaurant or butcher shop use are Select, Choice and Prime. Aging has nothing to do with the grading by the inspector, if it is aged that would be done either by the distributor or the end user. IMO aging has a large amount to do with the quality of beef consumers use. Unfortunately many end users don't have the space or cash flow to age beef to 21-28 days.

I believe that during a previous Democrat administration and Democrat ruled house the FDA regulations on food labeling was changed. It not longer required the statement of origin. Though I do see a lot of food packages do have the claim, especially vegetables.

I was raised on a cattle farm, so it is hard to match; until now. HM Cattle Company has a spot at the Brownwood Farmer's Market each Saturday. Their prices are good and the meat is wonderful, fresh, never frozen. The young man who most times attends it isn't so attentive, more to his phone; but if you can get him off it, their meat is wonderful. They set up across from Blue Fin. Remember, you get what you pay for. Look at their web page.
