Hello,
I get all my meat from a local farm shop and he will cut anything as
requested and I know the meat to be good.

As far as cuts are concerned you might find following helpful:

although even in UK we name things differently - pork shoulder or hand
and spring for example.

Best to find a local source and then read the various FAQ around and get
exactly what you want.
