Hey guys been lurking here forever and wish I had had more imput on the site!  Anyway this weekend I have 3 30# goosenecks to cook and was looking for some advice on time/internal temp/cooking temp!  Anything you guys have to say will be greatly appreciated!
 
The 'gooseneck' is the bottom, eye and rump roast section of the round (basically everything except the top round).:

Are you planning on pulling them or roasting and slicing them?  Just like a brisket if you're going to pull them, go up to 205°; if you want to roast and slice, go to as low as 135°.   There is not the same connective tissue on the hind leg as there is on the forequarter and it might be drier, so marinating first may be in order.
 
Thanks everyone!

Pops, I think Im going to slice although I would like to see how they would turn out pulled.  I was also thinking about cutting the roast in half.  What temp would you recommend for slicing?  135-140, cooked at 350?

Yes, in that range depending on how rare you like it; you can do them at 250° or so for a little more tenderness instead of 350°.  Cutting the roasts in half would allow another surface area for rub, etc. too, and give more variance for greater variety (more well done on the ends, rarer in the middles).  Do the goosenecks have the heel of the rounds removed from the bottom rounds?    You could cook those separately and pull them.
