The brisket is almost like the breast area of the cow. Following your hand down the nose of the cow you will reach the chin. After the chin comes the front of the neck. As the neck travels down to the front of the cow you will notice that the cow starts to curve as your hand travels toward the bottom of the cow. This area is almost like the breast of the cow but far away from the udder. The brisket is the cut of meat from the breast to right before your hand meets the leg on the under side of the cow.
