BEEF2

Front Quarter
The beef forequarter is the anterior portion of the beef side
which is separated from the hind quarter by a cut passing
between the 12 and 13th ribs. This is broken into primals:
chuck, rib, plate, brisket and foreshank.
The front quarter is prepared from a carcass side by the
separation of the forequarter and the hindquarter by a cut
along the specified rib, at right angles to the vertebral
column through the ventral portion of the flank.
Chuck
The square cut chuck is separated from the rib, plate,
brisket and shank by two straight cuts at right angles to
each other. The first cut passes between the 5th and 6th rib
and separates the chuck, brisket and shank from the rib
and plate. The second cut passes at a point slightly above
(dorsal to) the elbow joint and through the cartilaginous
juncture of the 1st rib and sternum and separates the
chuck from brisket and shank.
Rib
The rib portion is separated from the chuck and brisket by
a straight cut passing between the 5th and 6th rib and from
the plate by a straight cut passing across the ribs at right
angles to the first cut at a point slightly ventral to the
center of the rib cage.
Plate
The plate is separated from the chuck and brisket by a
straight cut passing between the 5th and 6th rib and from
the rib by a straight cut passing across the ribs at right
angles to the first cut at the point slightly below ventral to
the center of the rib cage.
Brisket
The brisket is separated from the plate by a straight cut
passing between the 5th and 6th rib, from the chuck by a
cut at right angles to the first cut passing at a point slightly
above (dorsal to) the elbow joint (distal extremity of the
humerus) and from the shank by a cut which follows the
natural contour of the elbow bone (olecranon process of
the ulna).
Foreshank
The foreshank is separated from the chuck by a cut
passing at a point slightly above (dorsal to) the elbow joint
(distal extremity of the humerus) from the brisket by a cut
which follows the natural seam of the elbow bone
(olecranon process of the ulna).
