Meat & Poultry

NOSE-TO-TAIL
FILET MIGNON? SURE. Butterﬂy pork chop? Sounds delicious.
How about some pigs' ears (or feet), tripe or lamb necks instead? Or
maybe just some good old bone marrow?
Most people would still opt for the choices in line one. But a growing number are turning to some less popular cuts for their ﬂavor and
novelty, and because of a commitment to sustainability and reducing waste.
It's called nose-to-tail.
Westminster, Colorado-based Niman Ranch buys the whole animal
from its farmer partners, says Ron Ott, the company's vice president
of pork.
That's fairly unusual in the meat industry, Ott says. Some of Niman
Ranch's competitors only buy speciﬁc cuts and pieces.
"We feel that 'going whole hog' is best for the farmer," he says.
That said, it's not always the easiest choice.

"It does create a challenge for us to use the entire animal from nose
to tail. Our farmers don't raise pork chops, they raise pigs and we want
each part of the animal to be utilized."
Niman Ranch uses the trim for its sausage, for example.
"Chefs across the country frequently request offal and more unusual
items like pig ears and tails to serve adventurous diners, and home
cooks are looking for lesser known and more affordable cuts to throw
on the grill," Ott says.
Jordan Hinton, account executive at Midan Marketing, which has
offices in Chicago and Mooresville, North Carolina, deﬁnes nose-to-tail
as "the use of the entire animal, to remain sustainable and proﬁtable."
"This is an inherent process for all beef, pork, poultry and lamb
packers," she adds. "Using the entire carcass is a concept that some
consumers may not be entirely aware of. Nose-to-tail creates an
opportunity to share information with consumers and highlight
