Name the Bones Found in the Beef Loin and Rib Primals.

MEAT CUTS & GRADING

 Hither is a Roman butcher in action, but nosotros will but look at meat cutting for Canada (which is the aforementioned equally the US), England, and Japan.

Cuts of beefiness

The showtime step in breaking the carcass is to carve up it into primal cuts that can be handled more easily. The cardinal cuts correspond fairly closely to the units that a retail butcher might order from a wholesaler or abattoir. The primal cuts of beef are shown below. The separation of the forequarter and the hindquarter leaves but the terminal rib on the hindquarter.

  • 1 = chuck
  • two =  rib,
  • 3 = brusque loin,
  • 4 = sirloin,
  • 5 = rump,
  • 6 = circular,
  • 7 = flank,
  • 8 = plate,
  • 9 = brisket,
  • x = shank.
On the hanging side of beef, count seven vertebral centra down from the sacral-lumbar junction, add together on just less than the length of a one-half a centrum, and cut perpendicularly through the vertebral column at this point with a saw. Dissever the forequarter from the hindquarter past cutting through the intercostal and abdominal muscles, following the curvature of the twelth rib. The forequarter can be dropped onto a tabular array or held suspended by its ain hook from a hoist.
  • Dissever the chuck

  • from the rib with a perpendicular cut through the vertebral column, level with the intercostal muscles between the dorsal parts of ribs four and five.

  • Divide the rib from the plate by an anterior to posterior cut. This separation may be fabricated much nearer to the vertebral column than the shown in the diagram.
  • Divide the chuck from the brisket by a cut that is perpendicular to the fourth rib at a point about ane cm proximal to the olecranon process of the elbow.
  • The shank may be cut into thick slices, the shank knuckle slices are proximal.
  • Before breaking the hindquarter, trim off the excess fatty near the pubis and over the posterior part of the abdominal muscles. Anterior to the rectus femoris, at a bespeak where the tensor fascia lata muscle reaches its about distal extent, get-go a separation that ends on rib 12, well-nigh 20 cm from the vertebral column. This detaches the flank.
  • Separate the round from the rump with a cut that passes most 1 cm distal to the ischium and terminates just after passing through the caput of the femur.
  • Carve up the rump from the sirloin with a cut that passes between sacral vertebrae 4 and 5, and terminates just ventral to the acetabulum of the pelvis.
  • Carve up the sirloin from the brusk loin with a cut that is perpendicular to the vertebral column and which passes between lumbar vertebrae v and 6.
The primal cuts next are separated into retail cuts. Hither they are given an approximate rating co-ordinate to tenderness,

 * less tender cuts to braise, stew or pot roast,

 ** medium tender cuts, good for cooking by moist estrus,

 *** tender meat for roasting, broiling or frying.

  • The rib cut is separated into rib steaks*** or standing rib roasts*** past cuts made perpendicularly to the vertebral column. Rib-centre*** or delmonico*** steaks are composed of sections of the spinalis dorsi together with the longissimus dorsi muscle.
  • If you are new to this game, a key bespeak to notation is how to distinguish steaks through the rib region

  • from those through the loin.

    RIB versus TRANSVERSE Process OF LUMBAR VERTEBRA

     Ane EYE OF MEAT versus Two Eyes OF MEAT

  • The chuck is sliced in planes that are parallel to rib four to make blade steaks** or bract pot roasts**.
  • Arm steaks*, arm pot roasts* or cross cut ribs*

  • are sliced off perpendicularly to the humerus.

  • Brisket* is sold in chunks to be braised or cooked in liquid. The shank* is cut into thick slices that are perpendicular to the radius and ulna.
  • The plate may be divided into cubes of rib bone and musculus, and sold as brusque ribs*. The flat mass of meat located ventro-laterally to the rib cage is usually rolled, tied, and cut into cylindrical cuts of plate*.
  • Abdominal muscles may exist isolated from the flank to make flank steaks*.
  • The short loin is sliced into steaks perpendicularly to the vertebral column.

  • Top loin steak with big eye of longissimus dorsi.

    • The most inductive steaks are the wing or social club steaks***, and near all their meat is derived from the longissimus dorsi.
    • Next are the T os steaks*** and these proceeds extra meat from the psoas major towards the posterior end of the loin.
    • Last are two or 3 porterhouse steaks***. These accept big areas of meat derived from both the longissimus dorsi and the psoas major. In the porterhouse region at the posterior stop of the short loin, the vertebrae can exist removed from the steaks to create New York strip steaks*** (longissimus dorsi) and tenderloin or filet steaks*** (psoas major and pocket-size).
    • In a restaurant with a French card, the longissimus dorsi may announced as Biftek de Contre Filet and the psoas muscles equally Filet Mignon.
  • The steaks cutting perpendicularly to the shaft of the ilium in the sirloin are named past the shape of the sectioned ilium.

  •  These steaks are, from anterior to posterior,

    • (1) pin bone sirloin steaks*** named from the oval department of the inductive projection of the ilium,
    • (two) apartment bone or double bone sirloin steaks*** named from the flat sections of the wing of the ilium where it joins with the wing of the sacrum,
    • (3) round bone sirloin steaks*** named from the circular sections of the slender shaft of the ilium, and
    • (four) wedge bone sirloin steaks*** named from the triangular cross department of the ilium about to the acetabulum.
  • The triangular shape of the rump and the complex shape of the pubis, ischium and the head of the femur make this cutting difficult to handle. If the basic are carefully removed, slices of rump steak** may be cutting quite easily, or the cut tin be left in large chunks as standing rump** or boneless rump**.
  • The round

  • may be cut into full cut round steaks** that are perpendicular to the femur, or it may be cut into large pieces of meat parallel to the femur to create the inside or top round** (mostly semimembranosus and adductor) and the outside or bottom circular** (more often than not semitendinosus and biceps femoris). The semitendinosus sometimes is detached and slices may be sold as the center of the round**.

  • The sirloin tip** is a cut from the round that includes the muscles which pull on the patella.

Cuts of veal

Veal carcasses are smaller than beef carcasses and there is less need to subdivide the carcass into key cuts. Typical cardinal cuts are the forequarter, loin (from scapula to ilium), flank (from mid-sternum to tensor fascia lata), and leg (including sirloinX). The cuts of veal are quite small, and many of the beef names are used since the overall pattern for beef is followed. The brisket usually is called the chest in the veal carcass. The equivalent region to the T os may be chosen a kidney chop if the kidney has been left in identify and sectioned with the chop. Differences in tenderness between cuts of meat from various parts of the veal carcass are far less pronounced than for the beefiness carcass.

Cuts of pork

  • Remove the hind foot with a cut through the tuber calcis. Remove the front foot with a cut that is but distal to the ulna and radius.
  • Remove the leg with a cutting that starts between sacral vertebrae ii and 3 and which is then directed towards the tensor fascia lata.
  • The cutting line is then inverse so that near of the tensor fascia lata is incorporated into the leg.
  • The barrel and picnic are removed together as a shoulder, past a cut that is that is perpendicular to the vertebral column and which starts between thoracic vertebrae 2 and 3. The butt is separated from the picnic by a cutting that skims by the ventral region of the cervical vertebrae at a tangent. This keeps the peak of the picnic relatively square.
  • The jowl is removed from the picnic with a cut that follows the crease lines in the skin.
  • The balance of the side of pork is split into the loin and belly by a curved cut that follows the curvature of the vertebral column. One end of the curve is simply ventral to the ilium, the other end is simply ventral to the blade of the scapula.
  • The loin

  • may be divided into a continuous sequence of chops. From inductive to posterior these are the

    • rib chops,
    • middle loin chops and
    • tenderloin chops.
    They tin all be cooked satisfactorily by dry estrus. Alternatively, the thoracic, lumbar and iliac regions may be left intact equally big roasts,

    • the rib end roast,
    • center loin roast and
    • tenderloin end roast.
  • The psoas muscles may be removed from the lumbar region to make tenderloin, and the longissimus dorsi and next modest muscles may exist removed from the vertebral column, and rolled and tied to make boned and rolled loin roast.
  • A crown roast tin can be fabricated past twisting the thoracic vertebral column into a circle then that the stumps of the ribs radiate outwards like the points of a crown. This facilitates the rapid carving and distribution of portions at a banquet.
  • The longissimus dorsi may exist cured and smoked to make Canadian Way bacon or (every bit information technology is more often called inside Canada) peameal bacon and back salary.
  • The rib cage plus its immediately adjacent muscles are removed from the belly to make the spare ribs.
  • The remaining muscles of the abdomen, together with those that overlap the ribcage for their insertion, plant the side of pork. Side of pork may exist cured and smoked to make slab bacon.
  • The picnic may be sliced to make picnic shoulder chops through the humerus, or it tin be partly subdivided to make picnic shoulder roasts. Picnic shoulder roasts may be boned and rolled, or smoked and cured in a variety of means.
  • The butt, or Boston butt, is usually divided into a number of blade steaks that are cutting from dorsal to ventral through the scapula. The more than inductive part then forms a barrel roast.
  • The leg may be subdivided to create, from proximal to distal, the butt terminate roast and the shank stop roast. Alternatively, the leg may be cured and smoked to brand ham.

  • The feet, the hocks, the knuckles and the tail can be baked or cooked in liquid and consumed enthusiastically with a large quantity of draft beer.

Cuts of lamb

  • The sirloin plus leg, or pin bone leg, is removed by cut perpendicularly through the vertebral column at a betoken level with the anterior face of the ilium.
  • In the lamb carcass, the loin includes part of the intestinal wall. The loin is removed by a cut that passes between ribs 12 and 13 and which and then continues perpendicularly through the vertebral column.
  • Sometimes the whole breast and the shank are removed with a single cutting from the anterior of the sternum to the ventral part of rib eleven.
  • Alternatively, the dominant cut may be fabricated between ribs 5 and six, to separate the rib from the shoulder, and to divide the breast into anterior and posterior sections.In the diagram, annotation how the metacarpal cannon bone is stock-still back and so that the carcass can be more than easily transported.
Differences in the tenderness of lamb muscles may become apparent in carcasses from older animals, and the blueprint of consumer use reflects the method of cooking required. The notation of asterisks (*) that was used for beef, is used again in this paragraph.
  • The leg may be divided a number of means, either into leg chops*** or steaks*** that are cut perpendicularly to the femur, or into large or small roasting cuts. Like many other decisions made by the butcher, seasonal preferences are taken into account. Steaks and chops are pop in the summer while big roasts are more than popular in the winter.
  • Similarly, the sirloin either may be cut into sirloin chops***, or left every bit a sirloin roast***.
  • The flap of abdominal muscle on the loin is removed, and is added to the chest meat.
  • The loin is sliced into loin chops*** or left whole every bit a loin roast***.
  • The rib or rack of lamb may exist subdivided into rib chops***, or left whole as a rib roast. The rack makes an excellent crown roast when the vertebral cavalcade is trimmed and aptitude back on itself.
  • In that location are a number of ways in which to divide the shoulder. It may be made into blade chops***, or left largely intact equally a square shoulder roast***. Parts of the shoulder may be be boned and rolled to make Saratoga chops***.
  • The neck* is commonly sliced perpendicularly to the vertebral column.
  • The fore shank* is removed intact, and the remaining breast* is subdivided in an arbitrary manner.
  • Much of the fat on the breast may be removed, and the remaining lean can be rolled or cut into riblets to adapt to local preferences.

UK Meat Cut

Imagine carrying a whole hip of beef and dropping it on a cut cake set to work on. Information technology would be wise to driblet it with the lateral surface downwards onto the block to leave the aitch bone exposed and gear up to remove. Thus, the medial surface of the hip becomes the United kingdom topside - litteraly, it is on top. Between the semimembranosus (located medially, part of the topside) and the semitendinosus (located laterally and equivalent to the eye of the circular in North America) is a natural seam that is opened to remove the silverside. Thus, from the plan view below nosotros cannot see that the topside is medial to the silverside, much as the inside round is medial to the outside round in North America. A terminal betoken to note is the location of the UK spare rib of pork which corresponds to something like a North American blade or boston shoulder. In the Uk, ribs and intercostals also are cut from the belly, but are identified separately as barbecue spareribs.

Beefiness cuts are the leg(ane),

silverside and topside (2),

top or thick rump (3),

whole rump (4),

sirloin (five),

hindquarter flank (6),

fore rib (7),

forequarter flank (eight),

middle rib (nine),

brisket (10),

steakmeat (11),

clod (12),

shin (13), and

sticking (14).

Pork cuts are the

leg (15),

abdomen (xvi),

loin (17),

hand & leap (18),

blade bone (19),

spare rib (twenty) and

head.

Still, there are many other means to break a carcass in the UK, where meat cut is, or at least used to be, an elegant skill with artistic and literary pretensions.

Dr. Johnson'south morality was an English an article every bit a beefsteak.

Japanese Meat Cutting

The most hitting characteristic of Japanese meat cutting is the consummate removal of all basic and about everything else that is non fatty or muscle - including all lymph nodes, periostium, sinews, skin, ligamentum nuchae, and and then on. Some types of Japanese beefiness are extremely fatty with major seams of intermuscular fat, much of which may be removed to get out highly marbled meat that is sliced very thinly and may exist cooked quickly at the dinner tabular array, property it with chopsticks and dipping it into lightly spiced boiling water. Thanks, Masa, for my business organisation bill of fare in Japanese!

The primal beef cuts removed from a hanging carcass are the front quarter, tomobara, loin and circular. The front quarter includes the first half dozen ribs and may be angled slightly to follow the rib radius of curvature (D) . The arm and shank are removed from the front quarter much as a British butcher might remove a shoulder of lamb, that is, past lifting humerus and scapula together while cutting through the serratus ventralis where it attaches medially to the scapula and and so severing rhomboideus and trapezius (1). The arm and shank then are boned out to leave the sleeve of surrounding muscles as a retail cutting. The remaining parts of the axial skeleton and musculature are separated into what might be chosen a plate (rib and sternum, Effigy 2), cervix (cervical vertebral region, 3), and shoulder roast (thoracic vertebral region, 4).

 The sternum, xiphoid cartilage, ribs and costal cartilages are removed from the tomobara (B), which is roughly equivalent to plate and flank. The tomobara extends from rib 7 to the ilium, and contains the ventral two thirds of rib length. The flat plate of boneless tomobara may be cut into iii slabs. Having removed the tomobara from the hanging carcass, the psoas muscles are removed as a filet mignon.

The loin is separated into a rib and loin roasts perpendicularly to the vertebral column (v and vi, respectively), but there seems to be some variability in the aeroplane of cutting: either between thoracic vertebrae 10 and 11, or betwixt xi and 12.

The round (A), really more than similar a hind quarter, has its medial muscle mass removed equally an inside round (seven). This includes the pectineus, adductor and semimembranosus grouping that starts ventral to the pubis. The rump and outside round (eight and 9, respectively) are removed along a line from the tip of the tensor fascia lata to the tip of the semitendinosus. The quadriceps femoris group of muscles (rectus femoris and the 3 vastus muscles) is removed as the shintana (10). All that remains is the hindshank composed of gastrocnemius and the distal extensor and flexor muscles of the hindlimb (11).

For the pork carcass, the shoulder (H) is removed perpendicularly to the vertebral column between thoracic vertebrae iv and 5, while the ham is removed at the lumbar-sacral junction (Eastward). Only sometimes the final lumbar vertebra may be left on the ham instead of the loin roast. Psoas muscles are removed every bit a filet. The roast (vertebral column and dorsal ribs, G) is removed from the salary (belly and ventral ribs, F) past a line parallel to the vertebral column at about 1 tertiary rib length. Afterward boning, the shoulder is separated into arm and shoulder roasts at a line level with the top of the scapula (12 and xiii).

Recognition of cuts of meat

  • The recognition of the species of meat when cuts of beef, pork and lamb are displayed for sale equally meridian-quality fresh meat is based on the color of the lean and on the size of whole muscles and bones.
  • Beefiness lean has the deepest color, and pork has the lightest color. Lamb and veal are intermediate, depending on the historic period of the beast. Veal from entirely milk-fed calves is extremely pale.
  • If marbling fat is present as wavy lines and dots of white fatty in the lean, information technology is very conspicuous against the dark color of the lean in beef, but is sometimes less visible in pork.
  • Pork exhibits the greatest variation in depth of color betwixt dissimilar muscles.
  • Pork often has the whitest fatty, and beneath the subcutaneous fat may be seen the thick cutaneous muscles of the pork carcass.
  • Some pork cuts retain their pare.

  • To place a cut of meat, first determine whether an unidentified cut is from the left or correct side of the carcass. Then ascertain its position and orientation in the carcass. Practise not forget that left and right sides of the carcass form mirror images, and that the two flat surfaces of a chop or steak from ane side of the carcass may also course mirror images. This is specially important when identifying muscles from diagrams.
  • Examine the surfaces of the cut of meat, and look for a surface that might take been medial, as indicated past vertebrae, sternum, pubis, ribs, adductor muscle, gracilis, etc.
  • Surfaces that were one time role of the lateral surface of the carcass unremarkably bear traces of trimmed or untrimmed subcutaneous fat, often with a grade stamp.
  • The orientation of a cut of meat may be indicated by the extent to which the cut of meat is tapered. The abdomen is narrower than the thorax in an eviscerated carcass, and the limbs are tapered from proximal to distal.
  • The dorsal spines of almost of the thoracic vertebrae project posteriorly.
  • The inductive ribs are shorter than the posterior ribs.
  • Await for a series of exposed blocks of porous bone. If a deep groove (neural canal) runs through the series, the bones are vertebrae from along the brute's backbone. If no groove is present, the basic may be role of the sternum. Nonetheless, if a carcass has been poorly split up into sides, the midline cut may miss the neural canal.
  • Look for rounded cross sections of os that might exist from a limb, but remember that part of the shaft of the ilium also is round in cross section. The whole hindlimb is rounded in cross department, but the forelimb is flattened because it is located against the rib muzzle. When the ilium has a rounded cross department in a whole sirloin, the muscle mass is lop-sided, and in that location is some trace of the sacrum on the border of the cut of meat. The more posterior part of the shaft of the ilium is triangular in cross section (wedge bone of sirloin). When the femur has a rounded cantankerous section in the round, ham or hind leg, it is almost in the center of a circle of meat.
  • When the humerus or the shaft of the scapula have a rounded cross section in the chuck or arm region, it is alongside a series of transected ribs, and the muscle mass of the limb is oval in cross department.
  • Look for a department that has been cut through a apartment bone.
    • If it is rigidly function of the body of a vertebra, and if it is narrow, information technology may be a fly-similar transverse process of a lumbar vertebra from the loin.
    • If information technology is rigidly part of a vertebra and is dorsal to the neural culvert, and if it is one of a series of broad porous sections of bone, information technology may be a dorsal spine of a thoracic vertebra from the blade or rib region of the carcass.
    • If it is curved and if it is movably jointed to a vertebra, it is probably the dorsal office of a rib (.
    • If it is parallel to a vertebral process, or if it is joined by cartilage to a vertebra, it may be the flat part of the ilium from the sirloin.
    • If it is isolated by itself in the meat, or if it is shaped like a alphabetic character T, it is probably the scapula.
  • If there are no basic in the cutting of meat, and if it is a flat slab of meat composed of several layers of flat muscles, it is probably part of the flank or abdominal wall.
  • If the cut of meat has big vertebrae with a circuitous shape, and if the outer surface of the meat is dark and ragged, the meat is probably from the cervix.
  • If the outer surface of the cut of meat contains a apartment rounded area of bone with a dimpled surface and traces of stale cartilage, the bone is the pubis from the rump region.
  • Look for a pigsty in the meat where the carcass might have been suspended from a large hook or gambrel. This indicates a hind leg, or the heel of the round in beef. In beef, the achilles tendon is hard, dry, stake yellowish in color, and extremely strong.
  • Look for a series of parallel ribs. The anterior ribs are shorter than the posterior ribs, and inductive ribs connect straight to the sternum.
  • Look for a long flap of muscle that runs diagonally over the medial surfaces of the ribs. This flap of muscle is the diaphragm. The ventral office of the diaphragm is anterior to the posterior part. In the beef carcass, the inductive part of the diaphragm appears in the plate, and the posterior part of the diaphragm appears at the showtime of the short loin, in the fly or club steak region.
  • Wait for a brawl and socket joint. The socket of the scapula in the chuck region of the carcass is broad and shallow. The socket that forms the acetabulum of the pelvis is narrow and deep, and there may exist a trace of the ligament which holds the head of the femur into the socket. The acetabulum occurs at the junction of the rump, the round and the sirloin. In pork and lamb, the acetabulum may be contained in the meridian of the ham or leg.
  • Expect for a small loose bone that would fill a cupped hand. This is the patella of the hind limb.
  • Expect for the stump of the tail, with its small-scale, simple caudal vertebrae.
  • Look for a serial of small round sections of white cartilages. These are the costal cartilages from the plate, flank, abdomen or chest.
  • Await for groups of several small muscles, each surrounded past white fibrous tissue. These are the extensor and flexor muscles from the distal part of a limb. The Achilles tendon indicates the hind limb.
  • CARCASS GRADING

    The primary objective of carcass grading is to describe the value of a carcass in clearly defined terms useful to the meat manufacture. It is advantageous to both the buyer and to the seller if the task of grading the carcass is left to an impartial 3rd party - the federal grader. If the buyer and the seller have worked out their own arrangement of payment for high and for depression value carcasses, they tin can relieve time or money by non having the carcass federally graded. The federal grading of carcasses facilitates long distance transactions and contracts for future shipments in which one or both parties have not yet examined the carcasses.

    Quantity and quality

    Three major factors decide the value of a carcass relative to market place weather condition, (1) carcass weight, (ii) the cutability or yield of saleable meat, and (3) the quality of the lean meat. All 3 factors are continuous variables that may be measured in either accented terms, such as weight, or in relative terms, such as those used by a taste panel. In scientific experiments, accurate carcass evaluation is necessary to search for modest differences beteween carcasses. Only a less accurate system is adequate for commercial transactions, and the continuous spectrum of carcass properties is subdivided into a relatively small number of grades in a step-wise sequence. Thus carcasses that are placed in the same class may showroom modest differences, only carcasses that are placed into different grades should showroom much larger, and commercially significant differences.

    Since 1972, the Canadian beefiness grading system has encouraged a tremendous reduction in the amount of fat on beef carcasses. But, by 1987, consumer responses indicated that the tenderness of beef was a business organisation and, in 1992, the grading system was altered to include a measure of marbling and to brand it at partly compatible with USDA beef grades. The marbling is at present given past a rating for Canada'due south superlative grades.

    A - must comprise a least traces of marbling

    AA - must comprise slight marbling

    AAA - contains pocket-sized or greater marbling

    All these A grades are from youthful animals with muscle that is bright ruby-red, firm and fine grained and fat that is firm and white. The quality grade (A, AA or AAA) is marked on each of the four quarters of the carcass inside a maple leaf badge.

    Yield grading for Canadian beefiness carcasses is at present a separate system. At nowadays (I frequently out of engagement), yield grade A1 has >59% lean, A2 has 54 to 58% lean, and A3 has <=53%. The yield grade is determined by measuring the exterior fat, and the length and width of the rib- eye. The grader has a special ruler. Firstly, the fatty depth (mm) is measured at a single site over the fourth quarter of the loin- eye using some notches on the ruler although, biologically, in that location is no guarantee that fatty is spread uniformly all over the carcass. There are ix fatty classes, the first starting at iv mm and the last at 20 mm of fat depth (stride size = ii mm). Next, the ruler is used to measure out the loin-centre length and width, only this is only an approximate measurement where the dimension is taken every bit less than the box marked on the ruler (measurement = 1), within the box (= two), or greater than the box (=3). These measurements so are used with a look-up-table (LUT) on the ruler to obtain a musculus score. The muscle score is and then used together with the fatty grade in some other LUT to find the estimated lean yield. The estimated lean yield then places the carcass equally either A1, A2 or A3, which is marked all down the carcass in red ink with a roller. The bottom grades are more simple. Grade B carcasses are all from youthful animals that missed the A grade for 1 reason or another: B1 for those without whatever marbling or with less than four mm exterior fatty, B2 for those with yellow fat, B3 for those with poor muscling, and B4 for dark-cutters. Grades D and Due east, which are seldom used, are for mature cattle used for ground beef or meat processing. The current beef grading organisation in Canada has only two maturity groups.

    Diagnostic features of maturity in Canadian beef grading.

    YOUTHFUL

     ane. Cartilagenous caps on the thoracic vertebrae not more half ossified (T ane to 3).

     2. Lumbar vertebrae with evidence of cartilage or a red line on the barbed process tip (L ane to five),

     3. Scarlet, porous barbed processes when dissever.

     4. Narrow, round, reddish ribs.

    5. Sternebrae not fused.

    MATURE

     1. Thoracic caps more half ossified.

     2. No cartilage or red line on lumbar vertebrae.

     3. Hard, white, flinty spinous processes when dissever.

     4. Wide, apartment, white ribs.

    v. Ossified sternum.

    Pork grades in Canada

    Pork grades are used in Canada to pay a producer for the amount of saleable meat that has been produced. The organization is based on the changed linear relationship that exists between total backfat and the per centum yield of the ham and loin. The dorsal spines of the thoracic vertebrae remain on the left side of the carcass when it is dissever into sides. The fat depth is measured 7 cm from the midline between ribs 3 and 4 with an optical probe. A LUT is used to summate the grade (chosen the index) from a combination of the backfat measurement and the warm carcass weight. Exceptions to the LUT are: (1) ridgelings (cryptorchids) all grade at 67, (two) emaciated carcasses all grade at 80, (3) 3 index points may be deducted for a badly shaped belly, (4) 10 index points may be deducted for abnormal fat color or texture, (5) tissue trimmed off by a meat inspector because of defects with a farm origin reduces the carcass weight.

    The farm of origin is identified by a shoulder tattoo on the pork carcass, and the producer is paid the numerical product of the reported market price, the grade, and the carcass weight.
