Whats the difference between the butt and shank portion/half ham?

0

The shank portion or shank half of a bone-in ham tends to be a bigger piece of meat, easier to carve and the bone is easier to use when making soups. The butt portion or butt half tends to be smaller and a leaner piece of meat, but can be more difficult to carve due to the irregular shape of one of its bones (aitch bone).
