You’re supposed to guess - or point (no pun intended nor hint implied) out the obvious mistake I made.
 
The only thing it looks like is it isn't trimmed on top as it looks like there's a good bit of fat on it.
 
I do think this one’s grass-fed/finished - it’s from a farm in Australia, I bought it through Crowd Cow last year (or year before).

It’s a small gash, it’ll be fine.

It’s coming along...4 hrs of smoky stick burner love and I’ve moved it into the electric (no chips) at 235 for the night, with the cooker’s probe reading 150. Once it hits 200 internal, the pit temp will drop to 140 & hold there until I’m ready to pull it out for lunch tomorrow.

Here’s how it looked when I moved it over.

Guess I’m in the minority here, but all my briskets get the Oakridge Black Ops treatment, not just S&P. Looks good, though.
