Basically what we do. Remove all 4 legs complete with skin. The fronts come off the same way as the rear . Much as MD describes but I would compare it more to removing your arm by starting at the armpit and slicing in from there into the joint. Not difficult to just follow around the joint and muscle groups on either front or back , once skin has been sliced through. Usually we take back straps last , find it easier to roll and hold animal with no legs getting in the way.
With practice can remove that lot from a goat in under ten minutes easy with a 3 inch blade.
