They're usually severed into sections, but it's the whole tail of the
cow, with sizes of vertebrae from teeny to huge. There is a lot of
connective tissue and disc material, which is why they make such great
soup. Very difficult to eat rare:) Cows exercise their tails
constantly, and so the meat is tough.
