Pasture-Raised Pork · Shoulder
The roast that pulls apart.
Boston butt is the top of the shoulder. Fat and collagen all the way through it. Cook it long enough and it comes apart with a fork.

What makes it different
Butt is not the back end.
The Boston butt comes from the top of the front shoulder, not the rear of the hog. The name comes from the barrels — called butts — that New England packers shipped shoulders in, and it stuck.
Collagen, not tenderness.
This muscle works hard, so it is full of connective tissue. That is why it is tough at 145°F and falls apart at 200°F. Time is what changes it, not heat alone.
Fat on the outside and through the middle.
A butt roast carries a fat cap and marbling both. The cap bastes the outside while the marbling keeps the inside from drying out on the long climb.
This is the cut we reach for when we are feeding a crowd. One four-pound roast makes enough pulled pork for eight to ten sandwiches, and it is just as good the second day.
From the farm
We trim the fat cap down but we do not take it off. It renders in, and the roast is better for it.
How to cook it
01
Season it the night before. Salt gets into a four-pound roast slowly — a coarse rub the evening before does more than one an hour ahead.
02
Low and steady. 250°F, fat cap up, eight to ten hours for a four-pound roast. Smoker, oven or slow cooker all get there.
03
Push through the stall. Around 160°F the temperature stops climbing for a couple of hours. That is moisture evaporating, not a problem. Wrap it in foil if you want to speed it along.
04
Pull at 195 to 205°F. Not 145°F — that is the loin rule and it is wrong here. Rest it thirty minutes wrapped, then shred it.
