Pork Shoulder New York Cut ( translation please )

[oakville smoker]

I seem to be learning a new language ....   LOL
Saw some pork butt ( shoulder new york cut )
I need a  translation to what this is?

New York's answer to Boston Butt ?
Good for pulled pork or sausage or something else altogether ?

Merci  ( left over french from last weekend )

Hmmm..

What did it look like ?

Did it have a bone, one that was perhaps sticking out ?

I'm thinking it may be cut closer to the shank end.

My understanding is that the shank end is better for slicing than pulling, but I know there have been some here that pulled it.

Like FBR said, it is probably the picnic and the butt combo and some of the butt meat trimmed off.

I found this definition, does it make sense ?

New York Style Shoulder—This cut consists of the full length shoulder cut two to two and one-half ribs wide and butted approximately two inches above top end of blade bone. Leg cut off just above knee joint.

Would it be a good candidate for pulled pork ?

In a word, yes.

Sounds like it is both the boston butt and the picnic.

CR

price per pound was 1.29
I thought it was pretty good for up here
I paid 1. 49 for straight up shoulder
I was thinking this was a good deal

Price difference between picnic and Bst butt is 15 to 20 cents here.

If you read the post the picnic I smoked was good just didn't "pull"
had to 'Chop" it

Some of my family liked it better.
