You're right.. the legs sitting on the table do not offer much kick... I'm going to get a head on my next trip to the rendering (meat) plant and clean it up.. Should be a messy funny time.. Doug

The mink had horse hooves? :confused: The mink wore horse hooves:confused:

Why? were they Icelandic?

Sorry, just having some fun. I have nothing substantive to offer in the way of advise on preserving them intact. Most folks clean the soft tissues out and keep the bones.

Allie Hayes of the Farrier Science clinic specializes in preservation of whole specemins as well as just bones. I believe she uses a freeze dry/dessication method. She has a web site and you may be able to contact her through it to get some advise and direction.

Hi Kim,

if you have a state vet lab nearby, perhaps they can save you some horse legs after they euthanize one or two...........take them home and either bury them or since you have red ants down there, put them in a cage and set them on top of the ant hill.......walla, down to bones in a short time

P.S......is anyone else twisted like me and had to click on the link below the horse hoof link to see the raccoon's pecker bone

I'm still having trouble visualizing this

Derin

How long do they have to be buried for?? I buried two about 2 years ago and wasnt sure when to dig them up

I do have a cage for leaving them out for the maggots to take care of but we recently seem to have ALOT of fisher cats around and I'm sure they would trash the cage to get to them.After I dig them up do I boil the them out or soak in bleach or???? Thanks!
