In a single hindquarter, there are no pieces repeated more than once. Someone selling a hindquarter and advertised as such, cannot sell you more than 1 of each part (i.e., it does not come with 3 shanks and 3 flanks and only a 3 lb. of loin steaks). Many "Freezer Deals" sell you multiples of wasteful, low yield parts'n'pieces in lieu of high yield lean cuts so you are paying for waste, not meat.
