A method of severing a portion of an animal leg uniformly at a fixed point near a joint such as the tarsus joint with respect to a reference position, the medial axes of the portions to be severed being generally aligned, the method comprising the steps of bending the joint so that the medial axes of the portions form an angle of approximately 90 DEG , and severing the portion at a point spaced a predetermined distance along the medial axis of one of the portions from the intersection of the two medial axes. No matter what size the leg, the cut will occur at the same fixed point utilizing the same predetermined distance. To allow the joint to bend after rigor mortis has set in, a preliminary partial cut is made, which, in case of a foot removal, is of either the hamstring or the tuber calcis bone.
