carving a cow is like carving an oversized goat, you need excellent sharp knives to work on it though - due to the higher fat content, it helps to use very grippy gloves or "aaata" - flour - for grip purpose.
holding the meat is the most strenous part of beef processing.
been there done that - infact with whole cow carcass suspended from engine chain block and loading dolly used to carry the large cuts.
