I'm running into some issues when I go to trim ribs. I've come across this issue when cutting down full spares as well as during prep of a st louis rack of ribs. I can go in and cut off the rib tips and get it all squared up, but it still feels like I have the main piece of bone and then like it was broken and then a second bone is in there too at the end. I can trim it off, but I'll have bone exposed at both ends of the rib which I don't think is right either. I end up trimming so much meat off that it's almost half of what i started with. I always end up with the main bone and then another, smaller extension at the end. It's rather weird.
I have gone to multiple locations for my meat to make sure that i just didn't get a badly butchered piece of meat and after sams, my local grocery store and 3 different butcher, I think it just comes down to user error. Any idea as to what I'm doing wrong?
