Using these charts

You can use, print, resize and publish these charts on any site or in print, including commercially. Please keep the “by CarneAtlas” credit link from the embed code, or credit carneatlas.com in print. The animal outlines are based on public-domain diagrams from Wikimedia Commons.

Primals are drawn differently in every tradition. A French or Argentine butcher divides the animal along different seams than the US and British systems shown here. That is what the rest of CarneAtlas is for: look up any cut by name and see what it is called, and what is closest to it, in ten countries.

Would you know it at the counter?

Five questions: name the cut, place it on the animal, and say which country calls it that. A new board every day — no sign-up.
