Figure 38.—Skinning the tail.

Skin the outside of the round, leaving the fell membrane on the round ([fig. 39]). You can usually pull off the hide in this region by hand, leaving the fell intact. At the bottom of the round, the fell is severed as shown by the arrows in [figure 40]. If a steer or bull is being slaughtered, remove the penis by cutting under it and severing its connection at the anus. Remove the hide from around the anus.
