Patent number: 7887399Abstract: A method of monitoring the production history of consumable animal primal cuts. Data collected from animal breeders and animal feeders is provided to a centralized data management system. An independent auditor also collects data on the operations of animal feeders. The data is analyzed to identify trends or relationships between aspects of the production lifecycle. Quality data on the quality of the primal cuts is also provided to the data management system. Feedback on procedures to be adjusted to improve primal cut quality can be provided to feeders.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2010Date of Patent: February 15, 2011Assignee: Elysian Field Farms, Inc.Inventor: Keith D.
