>beef born there, raised here, slaughtered somewhere else
Not rare to see here in Germany. I have seen it for Austrian-grown chicken to be slaughtered in Germany, similarly Argentinian beef is sometimes cut in the Netherlands.
EU regulation stipulates:
> The term ‘origin’ should be reserved for meat obtained from animals born, reared and slaughtered, and therefore wholly obtained, in one single Member State or third country.

UK law requires country of birth, country of rearing, country of slaughter and country of cutting to be on the product.
Slightly surprising that US consumers don't get so much information.
