Common use of Minimum Quality Standards Clause in Contracts

Minimum Quality Standards. All cattle delivered by Producer under this Agreement shall meet the minimum quality standards of the industry for cattle to be processed. Cattle of substandard quality, as determined by USPB or the entity processing the cattle, shall be either: (1) rejected and returned to the Producer with all costs relating to the rejection and return charged to the Producer; or (2) accepted and handled or disposed of in a manner customary in the industry with any necessary costs charged to the Producer. If the Producer intentionally delivers cattle that fail to meet minimum quality standards (due to disease or otherwise), repeatedly delivers cattle that fail to meet minimum quality standards (due to disease or otherwise), or intentionally delivers cattle from a source, feedyard, or supply that jeopardizes the quality of the meat from the cattle as determined by USPB, it is a breach of this Agreement and USPB may terminate this Agreement and the Producer's membership in USPB.
