A on Fig. 2 shows where the hindquarter is separated from the forequarter. B on Fig. 2 shows where the rump and sirloin are removed from the buttock. This is done by cutting longitudinally through the hip joint and sawing part of the pelvis bone (see Fig. 3). Con Fig. 2 shows the division line between the rump and sirloin. The rump is separated from the sirloin by cutting through hard against the rump bone on the sirloin side and sawing through the vertebrae (see Fig. 4). D on Fig. 2 shows the thick-flank seam mark on the outside of the buttock. The thick flank is removed from the buttock by cutting into the femur from the inside and at the seam shown on the outside (see Fig. 5). E on Fig. 6 shows the seam mark where the topside is removed from the buttock. Fig. 7 shows the topside being separated from the silverside at the dividing seam; note that the aitch bone is left on the topside. F on Fig. 2 shows where to cut through the femur and tibia (knee joint), separating the leg from the silverside.
