Modern technology provides a quick and accurate method for grading hogs at federally inspected plants: An electronic probe is inserted between the third and fourth ribs on the left side of the carcass. The needle has a sensor light on the end. As the needle is withdrawn from the probe site, it measures meat thickness and fat levels. These measurements are fed into a computer, which generates a yield class estimating percentage of lean meat.
