Saddle Chump On (0-rib)
A Saddle is prepared from a Carcase by a straight cut through the lumbar vertebra to clear the tip of the ilium. The Forequarter is removed at the specified rib site by a straight cut through the Back Bone to the ventral portion of the Breast/Flap, or by a cut following the contour of the caudal edge of the specified rib. The Breast and Flap can be removed at the standard cutting line, or at a specified distance from the ventral edge of the eye muscle (measured at the cranial end).
Points requiring specification:
•Diaphragm retained or removed.
•Length of ribs (ventral cutting line).
•External fat depth.
•Number of ribs (0-5).
