The USDA Fresh Pork 400 spec 407a defines a pork collar butt, and the difference between that and a CT Butt. I will admit, it's a small difference, and one with lots of ambiguity in there, but just allowing it is better than letting people interpret whether it is legal or not, imo.

That's interesting Thirdeye...seems like with the confusion around what a collar is or is not on here, there would be many more arguments about it out "in the wild"

I am a little confused with this. I think it's agreed that the 406 or 406A is legal. The description by ThirdEye says the 407 is the same is the 406A, with more removed. We are allowed to remove anything down to 4 lbs, so why wouldn't the 407 or 407A be legal if you are starting with a 406, which is?

Never cooked a collar but this thread has me interested. Can you get them without ordering from SRF?

If the meat buyer's guide has them listed you would think someone other than a specialty meat company would have them.
