What part of the pig do the babyback ribs come from?

From AskTheMeatman.com: "Where Do Baby Back Ribs Come From? Baby Back Ribs are located on the loin of the hog. They are basically the spine and part of the ribs. They are cut when you "take" the loin off of the backbone. The name comes not from the age of the hog, but because of the small size of the "ribs" compared to the larger pork spareribs. Pork Spareribs are the actual ribs of a hog." http://www.askthemeatman.com/answers/answer_to_where_do_baby_back_rib.htm


Are baby back ribs from cows or cattles?

Baby Back Ribs are pork and bones from a pig's ribcage. Thus they are not from cows or cattle.Baby back ribs, sometimes called loin ribs or simply back ribs, are taken from the top of the rib cage between the spine and the spareribs, below the loin muscle. They have meat between the bones and are shorter but meatier than spareribs. The rack is shorter at one end, due to the natural tapering of a pig's rib cage. The shortest bones are typically only about 3" (7.6 cm) and the longest is usually about 6" (15.2 cm), depending on the size of the hog. Whilst a pig has 15 ribs, a rack of baby back ribs contains a minimum of 8 ribs but can include up to 15 ribs depending on how it has been prepared by the butcher.Source: Answers.com

What is the difference between pork spare ribs and back ribs?

spare ribs are on top of the rib cage chest baby back r on the back and short ribs are cut against the grain. Duly noted. Additionally helpful information would be that back ribs, be them beef or pork baby back ribs, are called so because the literally come from the back of either the cow or pig. These can often have a plumper meat to bone ratio. As is my understanding, beef finger and pork spare ribs are physically more frontal. St. Louis are just trimmed pork spare ribs Beef short ribs are cut against the direction of the ribs so one length of them features evenly spaced cross sections of ribs that run it's width
