Default How early can I buy my prime rib?

If you have confidence in your local butcher, support them!

If your local butcher has "USDA Prime" standing rib roast, buy that.
The butcher's is a bargain. If the supermarket or butchers beef
is less than USDA Prime (Choice, Select, ...) buy the best marbled.

I doubt "Prime Rib" has much to do with USDA Prime.
Prime rib was eaten in England before the USDA, or the USA. IMO.
But now, USDA Prime is as rare as a local butcher.
