Shanks for such a great question! Beef, lamb and pork shanks love the low slow crockpot. I do neck and shoulder cuts like blade steak, "7"steak and even bone marrow bones work well in the crockpot.
and for a real treat if you can find goat meat and pig tails for Jamacan stews and curries.

They don't use a crockpot, but their method is braising low and slow for several hours, so you could do it in the crockpot.
