Part of leg in small 3, say (4)

I believe the answer is:

calf

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'part' is the first definition.
(calf is a kind of part)

'leg in small 3 say' is the second definition.
'calf' can be an answer for 'leg' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'in small 3 say' bit.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for calf that I've seen before include "Fine leather - young whale" , "Young bovine animal" , "Animal that yields veal" , "Young moo-er" , "Young animal; part of body" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
