Still trying to find tri tips in your area?

Hopefully this will help.
Tell your butcher the IMPS/NAMP cuts are:
IMPS / NAMP 185C for untrimmed tri tips
IMPS / NAMP 185D for trimmed tri tips

"IMPS / NAMP
Meat processors generally follow exact meat cutting and labeling specifications as outlined by IMPS (Institutional Meat Purchasers Specifications). These specifications state the manner of the cut and its name and assign the cut a number. The IMPS number simplifies the purchasing process by creating common language and expectation between the processor and end user.
NAMP (National Association of Meat Purveyors) uses the same specifications, and assigns the NAMP numbers in the "Meat Buyers Guide" (MBG)."

Sorry, I can't help you with the price they will charge.:)
 
OT: Going to be interesting to see if, in their 8th edition, the new retail cut designations will be used...
