Step 2 - Scoring grass seed on a carcase.
Step 2
Any seed in Section 1, over the rack, loin or leg, but not including the shank, means the carcase is described as having heavy grass seed contamination.
If there is no seed in Section 1 but there is seed in Section 2, over the shoulder but not including the shank, then the carcase is described as having medium grass seed contamination.
If there is only seed in Section 3, the shanks, flap or brisket, then the carcase is described as having light grass seed contamination.
NB: The presence of infected grass seeds means the carcase is graded as heavily contaminated regardless of location of the grass seed.
