Zusammenfassung:A method of processing a half pig carcass part that is at least partly freely hanging from a carrier, which carrier engages the hind leg part of the half pig carcass part. The method comprises detecting positions of bones in a rear portion of the half pig carcass part, identifying positions of the tail bone, the chine bone, and the hip bone, and based on the identified positions, cutting by a cutting device through a half pig carcass part portion between the hip bone and the chine bone. The cut causes a middle portion of the half pig carcass part to be partly separated from the remaining half pig carcass part via gravity.
