A method of monitoring the production history of consumable animal primal cuts comprising the steps of: breeding a plurality of animals; providing an animal identifier for a plurality of animals bred at a breeding facility and identifying breeding data information for the animals; selecting the animals into a plurality of lots of animals having similar characteristics, each lot having a lot identifier; raising the animals at a feeding facility; collecting production data on the animals in the feeding facility, the production data being selected from the group consisting of lot production data and individual animal production data; obtaining feeder facility data on the procedures used at the feeding facility; entering the breeding data, the animal identifier, lot identifier, lot production data, individual animal production data and feeding facility data into a database; processing the animals into primal cuts; assessing the quality of the primal cuts and entering the quality data into the database; correlating the data in the database to the quality data of the primal cuts; and determining an action needed to affect at least one of the breeding data, lot production data, individual animal production data and feeding facility data to improve the primal cut quality based on the correlated data
