The beef grading system from Australia classifies beef into Y, YG, YP, PR, and A.

Different countries use different measurements to grade their beef. This grading system pertains to the Australian grading system:

  • Y has no permanent teeth up to 18-month-old
  • YG has 2 permanent teeth after 30 months of age
  • YP has 4 permanent teeth up to 36 months of age
  • PR has 7 permanent teeth up to 42 months of age
  • A has 8 permanent teeth and 48 months any age

"A" indicates sourced from older cattle and is frozen beef.
