Difference between Spare and Endcut Ribs

[agilityboxer]

Anyone know what the difference between "spare ribs" and "endcut ribs" is? I am looking at the pork section on a blk order form.

Good question? Maybe ask the supplier what the difference. You could probably feed with to your dog. Which one is cheaper?

The endcut is about 0.50 less..... They really dont like selling to me as they do not sell to the public, so I try to keep questions short

Well, I just Image googled and it showed large pork chop looking pieces for the end cut and a picture of norma looking ribs for the spare ribs. Personally, the phrasing of "end cut ribs" make me wonder if they are sawedd bones.

I've never seen end cut ribs in the grocery store, so from personal expirence, I'm not sure. If I was in your position, I'd go for w/ what I know- and that would be the spare ribs.
