Clean, printable primal cut charts for beef, pork and lamb. Put one in a recipe post, a menu, a butcher-shop handout or a lesson plan. They are free to use, including commercially. All we ask is the credit link that comes with the embed code. Each chart is a vector SVG, so it stays sharp at any size and prints cleanly.

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.
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.
