ABSTRACT The present invention is a meat grader comprising a probe for insertion through a meat carcass to be graded, a light source, and a light sensitive apparatus associated with the probe for detecting light from the light source reflected from the meat carcass as the probe is inserted and/or retracted through the carcass, apparatus for generating a first signal representative of the amount of light detected by the light sensitive means, apparatus for generating a second signal each predetermined increment of axial movement of the probe through the carcass, and apparatus means for reading and storing the first signal each time the second signal is generated. By subtracting the addresses of the storage locations for the first signal and multiplying the difference by a constant an indication of the thickness of the lean meat and/or fat can be obtained.
