One hundred and seventy-nine (179) carcasses were surveyed for Longissimus thoracis (LT; rib eye) muscle pH from a commercial abattoir and results demonstrated that specific pH categories existed within the Canada B4 grade carcass population. About 72% of grade B4 carcasses had a muscle pH range...
