It is also referred as finishing phase of industry.

The Packing segment They are responsible for packing of carcass (wholesale cuts) in beef boxes with optimum carcass quality and its shelf life.
The Purveyor segment A meat wholesaler, an operator who purchases packed beef from packets and sells it to a retailer, without any deviation in its quality. Purveyors handle about 5% of total beef. They buy beef and perform some fabrication before selling them to retailers.
