Beef quality grading for producers, farms & ranches
Every grade becomes a public, scannable Animal Quality Passport you control: one clear verdict and a 0-100 quality score from your own photos, plus your branding, claims, a QR code, and a printable PDF. Grade on the farm or at the rail, no grader on site, then publish once so buyers anywhere can scan, share, and trust it.
Built for the sale side of the pasture
You already know your beef is good. The Animal Quality Passport turns that knowledge into a shareable, verifiable artifact every buyer can read on their phone, and trust.
Every animal gets a public URL with your farm branding: photos, region-aware verdict, breed lineage, slaughter data, lifecycle stages, treatment claims, and a QR code that points back at the page. Buyers scan once and see the whole story.
Shoot the carcass photos and cut photos throughout your slaughter day. Tap Generate Passport when you're done. MeatGrader fuses up to seven carcass angles into one verdict and grades every cut. No re-uploading, no second pass.
The headline is always the MeatGrader Quality tier (Supreme, Superior, Select, Standard, or Trim) with its 0-100 score: every quality factor combined into one number. One clear verdict, projected from every photo you captured, that reads the same to any buyer in any market.
Five universal life stages (Nursing, Pasture, Feedlot, Mixed, Other) with start and end dates and your own notes. Tell the buyer this Nelore lived 24 months on Brachiaria before 90 days of corn-silage finishing, in your own words.
Carcass overview, ribeye cross-section, fat cap, ear tag, more if you want. Replace any photo and the passport re-grades. Delete one and the verdict resets honestly. No stale grade on a swapped photo.
Archive an animal when its herd is gone and the passport URL keeps resolving forever. The signed revision the buyer printed is the artifact they can still verify. That promise is the page.
Every passport carries a contact button that emails the inquiry to the address on your producer profile. We don't broker the sale, take a cut, or insert ourselves between you and the buyer.
Inside the passport
The Animal Quality Passport at meatgrader.com/animal/<slug> is mobile-first, photo-led, and signed. Here's what it shows.
The passport leads with the canonical MeatGrader Quality tier (Supreme, Superior, Select, Standard, or Trim) and 0-100 score, based on every photo you captured. One canonical read for the whole animal, the same everywhere it is sold.
Up to seven role-tagged photos per animal: overview, ribeye, fat cap, KPH fat, ear tag, plus extras. Fused into one verdict, displayed full-resolution on the passport.
Every cut you photograph becomes its own analysis on the same passport: cut name, marbling score, color, texture, fat quality. Buyers see exactly which steaks came from this animal.
Ear tag, breed, sire and dam breed, sex, birth date, slaughter date, hot carcass weight, age in months. The metadata buyers actually ask about, captured in two minutes.
Chronological stages (Nursing, Pasture, Feedlot, Mixed, Other) with dates and free-text notes. The animal's life, in five plain-language stages buyers anywhere can read.
Pasture-raised, grass-finished, grain-finished, no added hormones, no antibiotics, organic, GAP-certified, halal, kosher, NHTC. Chip-style claims, exactly as you ticked them in the app.
Every publish creates an HMAC-signed snapshot. The QR code on the page links to the latest revision, and any older revision a buyer printed stays verifiable forever. Update the animal, publish again, both versions hold.
Save the passport as a PDF for paper handoff, point-of-sale display, or supplier paperwork. Same content, same branding, same QR, same signature.
One quality language
Every animal you publish carries a single MeatGrader Quality verdict, projected from your photos and read the same in every market. One tier, one 0-100 score, backed by a marbling, color, texture, and fat breakdown. No paperwork, no translating grades in a buyer's head, the same verdict from Sao Paulo to Tokyo.
Exceptional, dense, even marbling with pristine color. The top of the scale and your easiest premium sell.
Well above average. Generous marbling and clean white fat that commands a strong price.
Solid, dependable everyday quality with moderate marbling.
Leaner, with lighter marbling. Graded honestly so buyers know exactly what they are getting.
Minimal marbling. Priced and positioned for grinding, braising, and value cuts.

Carcass capture
Producer Pro switches into carcass mode the moment you capture multi-photo: a different prompt, different visual factors, the model fusing every angle into one verdict.
Conformation and muscling, ribeye area, fat cover thickness and color, age signals from bone and lean: the same factors a real grader scans on the rail.
Shareable, signed, printable
Every animal you publish gets its own page on meatgrader.com. Your farm logo and story at the top, the animal's metadata, every photo, every grade, laid out for a buyer to read on their phone in the time it takes to walk to the truck.
Print the QR code on packaging or a tag and drop it on the table. The page is the proof. The score and photos are MeatGrader's read, not yours. That's what makes it convincing.


Your workflow
Farm name, logo, banner, story, location, breeds, contact, socials. Two minutes with a photo and a website handy.
Ear tag, breed, sire and dam, slaughter date, hot weight, age, lifecycle stages, treatment claims. The wizard saves to a draft on every step so you never lose work mid-form.
Snap as you cut. Photos pile up in two buckets (carcass and cuts) with role tags assigned by capture order. No re-uploads, no batching.
Carcass photos fuse into one verdict, each cut becomes its own analysis. Publish to mint a signed revision, get a public URL with QR code, and download the PDF.
