Lamb carcasses usually have either 13 or 14 thoracic vertebrae and a corresponding number of pairs of ribs. The structure of the ribcage is rather variable in lamb carcasses. Carcasses have been found with as few as 12 ribs on one side, and left and right sides of the ribcage may differ in their number of ribs. In lambs, rib length is determined mainly by age while the plane of nutrition determines rib thickness.

A rack of lamb refers to a cut of lamb that includes several ribs, typically from the rib section, and is often roasted whole.
