The future is Video Image Analysis (VIA) .The farmer will be paid more if  the beast has more high value cuts ie sirloin etc. 
Usually the process is conducted by licenced human classifiers (Graders), but since the VIA E+V 2000 system was approved, a number of British Abattoir plants have begun using the technology.
VIA works by taking a series of images of one side of a carcase to calculate features including length, width, angles, volume and colours.
These measurements are then used to determine the conformation and fat class of the carcase using the 15-point grid.
