Generally, these agreements aim for the red meat yield target. Examples of these alliances are Coleman's Natural Meats, Laura's Lean Beef, Maverick Ranches Beef, and B3R Country Meats.

Alliance is defined by Webster as &quot;an association to further the common interests of the members.&quot; In the past 10 years many producer groups have worked to secure marketing agreements with beef packers. Many of these agreements, or alliances, are available to many beef cattle producers. Beef carcass alliances (BCAs) can be grouped into three broad categories: breed association-sponsored, commercial, and natural/implant-free. In addition to these categories, two types of beef carcass targets have emerged.
