Can someone tell me what cut of meat these are? My parents picked me up a couple of pork butts (boston butts) from town (8 hrs from my home) as I cannot get butts where I live but when I unpackaged them they seemed different than the butts I had before.Did the butcher give us the wrong cut.These are flatter not round like the butts I had before.This is only my second time attempting butt so i'm unsure what I have... looks more like a leg to me???
They where 3 bucks per pound and cost me 50 dollars for them both!!
Thanks

Is there an end with 4 sections of striated muscle(money muscle)?
This is part of the butt so if not, you may have picnic shoulder, which is just slightly down the front leg from the joint. Cooks the same way. -
Shape looks like butts with a pretty healthy fat cap left on. I can't really see a money muscle or bone through the plastic. However, in the last pic the left side above your hand looks kind of pointy like a picnic shoulder.XL, Large, Small, Mini Eggs, Shirley Fabrication 24x36 Patio, Humphrey's Weekender, Karubecue C-60, MAK 1-Star General, Hasty Bake Gourmet, Santa Maria Grill, Webers: 14" WSM, 22.5" OTG, 22.5" Kettle Premium, WGA Charcoal, Summit S-620 NG

Agree with R2. Look good to me. Needs a little trimming but save that awesome pork fat. If you don't know why, hit me up. That stuff is gold.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

Pics with the meat side up from a few side angles would help better
