Description
Upper ends of both the metacarpal and metatarsal were cleaned off to solid bone. The lower knuckle was kept intact for the first measurement, then carefully removed to the solid bone for the second measurement. Care must be taken to get consistent results on bone length as the bones are fairly soft on new calves, and can accidentally be removed.
