Like on a hog. I know the hams come off of the legs but where does it stop being ham and become a roast?
A friend that butchers does it at 100lbs and grinds it all to sausage just for that reason.

I counldnt tell you where one cut of meat or the other comes from but the old man that I worked for could do just about everything there was to a cow of course he was in his late 70's. Al my dad and I usually will raise a couple of beef and some pigs but we dont do our own either it is easier to send them to get done and I must say the guy that does it does a great job

Beth that leg could just be badly bruised too. If the ground was soft the hoof could have just pushed the leg into the dirt and not break it. I would give him a few days as long as it seems he is not in too much pain.

An x-ray would be the only sure way to tell but that would be expensive.

I end cut my Hams on a angle cut just below where the pooper is, then cut the hock off from that. On a 275lb hog that Ham cut that way would yield a 35 lber + Ham. Do the shoulder's the same way. I only grind sausage from what is left after all else is cut, instead of grinding most of it because we can't ID the cut's.

I went with the fried theme for today. Chicken and taters. Plus a pot of chicken and noodles which were really meant for later but everyone wanted that first.

Actually Goat taste nothing like Deer, it's way better more of a beef taste, and very lean that is why cooking goat to a medium rare is best as to not dry it out. Plus when processing a goat you get to bleed it out. A deer is so gamey because all of the blood is still in the meat and stays there, It is the main reason I don't eat dear because I never know how it was kept and processed, most deer hunters aren't very good cooks, they just grind it up not for me sorry. Goat is so much better, as a matter of fact worldwide goat is the most popularly eaten meat by far.

I never have but I have had some tell me that they prefer it over most other meats. A lot of how it tastes depends on how it was fed out if it's anything like beef or even chicken.
