Figure 31.—Skinning sides and back.

Slowly pull down and out on the hide ([fig. 32]), removing it along the back. If the fat begins to tear, use a knife to correct the torn area and then continue pulling the hide. Remove the hide as far down the back as possible ([fig. 33]). When it becomes difficult to pull along the top of the neck, complete removal with a knife.
