When I'm cutting lamb forequarters, sometimes they come with the shanks on, sometimes with the shanks already separated. When they're on, it's simple to cut them off and they're pretty much ready at that point, after I remove the excess bone from the (brisket I think). But when they come with the sh...

I've been cutting for 10 years and still get confused when customers ask me these questions: Could I get that bone-in Rib Roast from the small end? or Could I get the 5,6 and 7th ribs? The Sirloin side has a large bone, lesser weight in meat, and the chuck side has more weight in meat but smaller bones. So w...

His ribs that he used one time were cut off of the lower end of the loin. Almost like thick rib chops but with the to...
