It's going to be a two man job. You can hold them by the back legs if your helper is big enough.... you better be a fast cutter though. I always had better luck when they were 40 lbs or bigger by laying them on their side and holding their legs together, like they are hog tied. Your helper can kneel right on their side and hold thier legs in both hands. Their testicles will naturally bulge out when they are held like this.

Good luck.
