When will his legs stop being so stiff?

Rigor mortis will pass in 24-48 hours including large livestock. The reason beef is hung in a walk in cooler to age is to improve tenderness and flavor

I did not know that. Thanks, Bossroo!

Well, it took a bit of forcing, but I got his legs folded up, toothpicked them into place so they weren't outside the roaster, and he's in the oven! We are doing t-day early because hubby has to work tomorrow.
