Description
The beef round primal is the rear leg of the animal. It includes the aitchbone (half of the hip bone), the femur bone, and the tibia (shank). The round includes large muscle groups that make up the subprimals of the round. They include the Top (inside) round, the bottom (outside) round, the eye of round, sirloin tip, heel, and hind shank. A semi-boneless, shank off round is a full that has the shank removed and is absent of all bones except the femur. A semi-boneless round, shank off, rump partially removed also excludes a chunk of the bottom round known as the rump. The rump is the sirloin end of the bottom round.
