Default Re: hind quarter?

I'm not positive, but I think a pork butt (Boston butt) is actually a shoulder cut. I've cut them up and they don't have "hind quarter" type bones in them at all, more like shoulder bones. Maybe what's sometimes called a "fresh ham" is more like the hind quarter. They aren't smoked, just a whole rear leg.
