About Pork spare ribs
Pork here is bought whole and broken in house: boneless butt and shoulder for grinding, braising and roasting, boneless and bone-in loin for chops, and spare ribs and baby backs for smoking. Two things make it behave differently from beef. There is no everyday quality grade on pork the way Prime, Choice and Select work on beef, so the cut and the trim are the entire specification. And
Buying notes
Most pork is quoted per pound against an average case weight; ground pork is the exception and is invoiced by the case. Spare ribs and baby backs are both bought by the pound in bulk cases, and what separates them is rack size and meat cover rather than any grade, so put the rack specification on the order.
