money muscle
for competitions, can a better representation of the money muscle be had if you get a whole shoulder with the picnic and butt attached and butcher it yourself, rather than getting the pre butchered butts in the cryoed two packs. in the packs it seems that this muscle is cut short.

I am not sure as I have never tried what you are asking. However I have no problem getting enough meat from my money muscles. I cook 2 butts and I have plenty to put at least 6 pieces in a box, I usually go with more than 6.
Are you having a problem getting enough meat to get 6 pieces ??

The picnic cut is on the opposite end of the money muscle, so it wouldn't matter.
The butt is the upper portion of the shoulder and the picnic is the bottom portion. When the butt is still a part of the entire hog, the money muscle is near the backbone - up near the loin. It least I'm pretty darn sure that's how it all lays out. But I'm not a professional, just a guy who's cooked a whole hog once and kind of dug around to see how everything lays out.

This is awesome... I cooked 3 hogs this summer and found myself doing the exact same thing "Oh, so that's where that comes from!" feather bones, shoulder joints, etc... Good times.

I think to much effort is put on money muscle, there is better meat to be turned in from a butt

Love RD! - I don't know if it's their turn-over rate or what but we have yet to get a pork butt (any cut for that matter) that wasn't spot on from RD. I am regularly disappointed with Sam's which except in a pinch (about a mile down the road) I have stopped buying pork products from.
