Shoulder Rack (5-rib)

Shoulder Rack 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 eye muscle (M. longissimus thoracis) at the caudal end. The cranial cutting line is at the
junction of the 1st thoracic vertebra and 7th cervical vertebra parallel with the 1st rib. The chine and feather bones are removed.
Points requiring specification:
•Rib number required.
•Distance from eye muscle.
