## Description

This MCP server provides precise physiological and economic predictions for beef production. By connecting AI agents to livestock data, it enables the calculation of hot carcass weight and dressing percentage using `predict_carcass_metrics`. Users can determine USDA classifications by calling `determine_yield_grade` for meatiness/fatness analysis or `estimate_quality_grade` to predict Prime, Choice, or Select probabilities. Finally, `calculate_market_value` provides economic insights by applying grid premiums or discounts based on predicted grades.

## Tools

### calculate_market_value
Provides an estimated economic value for the carcass including premiums or discounts

### determine_yield_grade
Predicts the USDA Yield Grade (1-5) based on meatiness and fatness

### estimate_quality_grade
Predicts the likelihood of the carcass falling into Prime, Choice, or Select categories

### predict_carcass_metrics
Calculates the primary physical outcomes of the slaughter process (weight and dressing percentage)

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the carcass metrics for an Angus steer weighing 1200 lbs.
```

**Response:** 
```
The predicted hot carcass weight is 714 lbs with a dressing percentage of 59.5%.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the yield grade for a carcass with a 14.5 sq in ribeye area, 0.4 in fat thickness, and 12% KPH fat?
```

**Response:** 
```
The predicted USDA Yield Grade is 2.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Predict the quality grade for a Hereford animal with a body condition score of 6 and 150 days on feed.
```

**Response:** 
```
The predicted primary quality grade is Choice.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What is the difference between Yield Grade and Quality Grade?**
Yield Grade (1-5) predicts the amount of boneless, separable lean meat, while Quality Grade (Prime, Choice, Select) predicts eating quality based on marbling.

**How accurate are the weight predictions?**
Predictions are based on breed-specific biological constants and physiological measurements like live weight and breed type.

**Can I estimate the market value of my carcass?**
Yes, by using the `calculate_market_value` tool, you can estimate the final price including grid adjustments.
