Each quarter of kosher beef shall be identified further by four additional markings or stampings consisting of the word "kosher" and the name of the rabbinical council supervising the slaughter. Such markings shall be in Hebrew letters or symbols applied with branding ink, one each to be placed on the rib, the upper portion of the plate, the approximate center of the square chuck, and on the shin. Each forequarter of veal and lamb shall have two such stampings, one located midway across the side of the breast and ribs and the other on the approximate center of the shoulder. These markings shall be stamped on the interior wall or on the exterior surface of the forequarter.
