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.
