Agreed, "They are a long cut from the lower portion of the pig or cattle, specifically the belly and breastbone, behind the shoulder, and include 11 to 13 long bones" Spare ribs can be found not only on beef and swine but deer, lamb, bison, heck even giraffe. Basically any mammal with a rib cage is going to have them. We smoke "spares" from beef, veal and lamb all the time and they are absolutely good eats. Even for those of us without any pork on our forks!
