much easier for the market man to measure off any desired quantity
and to cut without the trouble of interfering bones.
The Beginning of the Fore-Quarter
(Or the back of the fore-quarter). Of the thirteen ribs in the crea-
ture eight are left on the fore-quarter cut.
The first five cuts are cut for rib-roast; the last two are chuck
rib cuts for roasting and steaks. All the cuts have only one rib each
excepting the first one; this has two ribs and is also the best cut off
the creature's back.
The shoulder blade is used as a boiling piece.
The neck is used for stew and for mince-meat.
Beginning with the first rib roast cut, the meat becomes poorer
and cheaper as it goes towards the neck ; the bones are harder and
thicker, too, as they go towards the neck.
The Plate or Rattle
(The other part of fore-quarter).
This is the part of the fore-quarter which lies below or under-
neath the back.
The shin is the same as the hock, excepting that it is the front
leg, while the hock is the hind leg. The shin is good for soups.
The sticker or sticking piece makes nice corned beef.
In fact, all the parts of the rattle are used for corning, as it is a
cheaper grade of meat.
There are two parts to the brisket: The navel-end and the butt-
end. The long bone, or rather series of short bones, running through
the whole brisket should be removed and thrown away. It is not
even good for soups.
