Bad choice of ONE word! I should have said "If Tyson doesn't cut individual cuts. I believe (and did not check it out) that the classes mentioned are for fabricators rather than those in the slaughter plants.

I also did not say that I DO know how Tyson cuts beef.

What I am saying, and it should have been quite obvious, is that there are different people saying different things about what Tyson does with the beef they slaughter.

I asked for clarification. I suppose it is likely that they have different plants that do different things, possibly as different businesses, but maybe not.

I've never claimed to know everything there is to know about how a steer gets turned into a steak, but I do know that there are many cattle producers who know considerably less than I do about the process, and some who believe as fact things that are not true at all.........but who would NEVER admit to that!
