Description

In these episodes, Brandon and Lauren discuss the skinning and evisceration of ruminants, to include cows, sheep and goats.  Part 1 covers the mechanics of skinning....how to do it in a way that will maximize the fat left on the carcass.  If you question why you would want to do this, Brandon's explanation will make it clear.
