Oh yeah, I often break chicken bones for stock. They snap easily.

But pork and lamb leg bones have enough marrow to cut into canoes
for service, if they're saw, just like beef and veal. My parents
used to cut leg nones in half crosswise and then scoop out the marrow
with special long small spoons. Modern restaurants cut them
crosswise into 5-6 inch sections and then split them lengthwise
to make the roasted marrow easy to extract. For that you need a saw.
Hacksaws are fine for small batches but you really need a band saw
to handle large quantities.

Smashing a stout pork femur hard enough to break it is going to
wreck the counter underneath. I'd want to do that outside on a large
rock.

 DS> 1/2 ts Black pepper
 DS> 1/2 ts Salt
 DS> 1/2 tb Dried parsley
 DS> 1/2 ts Red pepper flates
 DS> 1/2 ts Onion powder

I often these often. When I do I often use garlic powder instead of
or in additions to onion and either bay leaves or rosemary ground to
a powder in my spice mill instead of parsley.
