If you don’t need a whole ham, you can choose between the shank end or butt end. The shank end (or leg portion) has that classic ham profile, so it's a good choice for a picture-perfect table. The meat tends to be leaner and it has one long bone, which makes carving easier. The butt end (the top half of the ham) has more tender, fattier meat, lending a richer flavour.
