You don't have to buy them, they are free with every pork butt purchase :laugh:

Why would you want just the MM? (Besides that they are delicious :-D). You posted this in the competition section, so I have to assume that the question is competition related.

Take a breath!
Just buy the whole butt, cut them down to size, and use the rest to make some nice sausage.

In all seriousness Jason I would call Keith at KC Competition Meats and ask him. If anyone would know it would be him.
Please let us know what you find out!

Yeah. Has to be pork shoulder, but no other rules/requirements in terms of cooking it as "once piece" etc.

For those of us that don't competition cook.....care to share how to butcher a Boston Butt to get just the MM?

In the first part of this pork trim video, he shows how to reveal the money muscle and he trims it to a point where cutting it off is just a knife swipe away:

Maybe check with with a small meat market that produces a lot of sausage. If they are small and yet produce a lot, chances are they aren’t just using trimmings.
A grocery in our area takes the Smithfield prime butts that come individual wrapped, trim them down to a smaller blade roast that the “housewives” will buy.
Again, perhaps you can buy the other end.

Cheshire Pork has what you desire. It isn't cheap, but you didn't expect it to be did you?
Cheshire Pork specializes in Berkshire hogs, and they have some interesting cuts...such as pork skirt steak. They are a good hometown company run by some great folks.
Anyway, here you go...
