Shoulder Rack (0-rib)

A Shoulder Pack is prepared from a Forequarter by the removal of the Blade, leaving the underlying muscles attached to the ribs. The ventral cutting line is determined by a measurement from the tip of the M. longissimus thoracis (eye muscle) at the caudal end. The cranial cutting line is along the contour of the 1st rib and through the junction of the 1st thoracic and 7th cervical vertebrae and parallel with the specified caudal cutting line. The feather and chine bones are removed. Alternative Trim:
