It is select probably. It usually goes inspected, select, choice, then prime.

It never hurts to get the best you can afford, but personally since I am on a budget, I get the lower grade. Never had anyone complain. Usually since their mouth was too full

Yes it's a good cut of meat and the fact that it is marked is a good thing too.
