This is a pretty good example. The venex method is how the guys used to break down carcasses when I worked in the meat works as a young man.

Yes, think I prefer that one.
From 10:00 to 12:20 the leg is broken down into the three main muscle groups. For the butchery experts amongst us, could someone please tell me what the proper term is for each of these - referenced to the time in this video ? At 11:15 off comes the first of these three - this is the piece that includes that circular muscle (usually of a lighter colour to the rest of the meat) that cuts into small medallians. Has that piece got a separate name too?
