The whole cow is kosher. However, the vein/artery and nervous system is so complicated in the hind quarter that it is incredibly difficult to remove these two things (a requirement of the kashering process) without destroying the cuts. As a result, in almost all areas, only the front half is used for kosher meat.

Yes - in principle cows are Kosher if slaughtered in the proper manner and if the meat is 'Koshered'.

In order to kosher something you have drain the blood and which is done by soaking meat in water and adding salt.

If you are planning to serve beef for Jewish guests, please consult with them.

It is not enough to buy Kosher beef as it must also be cooked in a Kosher kitchen.

Anything except: the forbidden fats (suet; see Leviticus ch.3), the blood (Deuteronomy ch.12), and the sciatic nerve (Genesis ch.32). In practice, the hidquarters are usually not used, in order to avoid the difficult process of removing the sciatic nerve.

Note that the cow must be slaughtered according to Jewish law and must be inspected. Diseased cows (treifot) are not permitted for us.

Yes, the only part of the animal that one cannot eat (other then blood) is the gid hanasheh which is the sciatic nerve[edit]

Kosher dogs use the first front half of the cow for it's meat leaving the other half behind. This "helps" eliminate the possibility of contamination from intestines.
