EXCEL Beef Plant
In this portion of the EXCEL Beef Plant tour, EXCEL Beef Plant starts in the coolers and viewers learn the role of a federal meat grader in determining Choice and Prime-grade carcasses.
Then, it moves to the disassembly process on the fabrication floor as a highly skilled team of workers and ergonomically designed machines work together to process 8,000 sides of beef into “boxed beef” at a rate of more than 100,000 pounds per hour.
Viewers watch as the carcass is fabricated into primal and sub-primal cuts— an excellent lesson in beef cut identification in itself.
Also viewers see the transformation of beef by-products into usable and saleable items.
The viewer visits one of EXCEL's most modern and efficient beef packing plants, and takes a closer look at packaging, storage, and shipping.
