After boning shopping carts full of them how can I ever forget! I used to dread chuck sales, as low man I always got the necks. But it helped me realize in short order to memorize bone structures- not just on necks but every bone, which made my life much easier.

We had to disjoint them and they had to be pretty clean. What a b@#% learning to get a knife through that. We used to grind down an old boning knife to about 3 in just to crack those joints. Gosh I sure miss that... NOT.

When I started out with BI LO we would get in a truck of hanging beef on Monday morning. Aftrer breaking everything and setting up the case we started boning. We usually had around 15-20 buggies. We would bone Tuesday also until we finished. The newbie always got the neckbones, and we told them they had to be clean. This was after sending them out for a case stretcher, lol.

Here is a knife that does the job, pretty slick. A lot of big packers have these on their boning lines.

In the small shops we did it bone by bone. In the supermarkets we would lift the flap, lean out the fat above the bone, trim the outside, put 4 strings around it, square off the ends, cut it in half ,and stand it up in a #1 tray. Sold like crazy. Must of had to be cooked forever.

 I haven't seen a netted chuck roll (from the factory that way) in about 20 years.

Lawdy! I remember 5, 6, 7 carts of necks after breaking days. They'd send the apprentice, me, into a corner of the shop and tell me to bone my way out. That same corner saw a lot of ice pack chickens bagged also. I neve want to be in a corner again.

 Well I left the trade in 1995 so that just might be about right!  Neither have I!

Boning necks was about the BEST thing I got to do as an apprentice.  The other jobs were cutting 40-50 cases of trim chickens, and cleaning the department. At least I felt like a real cutter when I boned necks. The only way I learned anything else was to work evenings on my own time, help the evening cutter with his list, and he would teach you stuff. And then of course clean the department for him.....
