country style ribs are little different than loin baby back pork spareribs, but they're always pork. The original cut called country style ribs, came from the last three or four rib bones at the end of the pork loin. They were butterflied, kind of like a split pork chop. But as consumer preferences change, so do the options in the meat case. The butcher can't cup a full slab of loin back ribs and those three or four country ribs on the same side of a hog and back ribs are very popular so you won't find the original country ribs very often anymore.Source: Unknown
