[quote=T_Inman]I don’t think folks are referring to separating the ball joint….they’re referring to separating the lower and upper rear legs by cutting through the joint immediately beneath the ‘heel’ or what most people think of as the ‘knee’.
I may try the Havalon saw the next time I do need a saw for something, as it does look handy.
Exactamundo.
A sharp knife will easily remove the lower legs once you learn where to cut. There’s a joint just below the hock on the hind legs that a knife will go right through. My dad worked in a butcher shop when I was a baby and he taught me where it is.
Here’s a video on how to do it. He’s doing it cold. It’s easier before the animal cools.
Yep no need for a saw on legs or to split a pelvis, a knife can do all the work.
