I can eat them, but don't think I'd like to work with the frogs. Alligator would be ok. I prefer to let someone else gut it. Maybe Lena. I did help slaughter some lamb and a few pigs back in the late 70s. Don't really care for that kind of work.
lol Larry did they *punch* out the skin back then on the lambs? as far as the video I'll say a big ole thank you but no thank you to the frogs...The gator hells yeah...Mind you I kinda weird lol in the fact I like to have the animal gut THEN butchered..I know I know Odd I am that way lol..oh and I'll pass on using the rusty machete lol..

Not sure what you mean about punch out the skin. We had a few pigs, sheep, and one freemartin (anyone know what that is?), at my parents home on 2.5 acres in my teen years. We shot them with a tiny 25 caliber pistol, cut their throats, skinned them, then gutted. It was when I was helping my dad do this that I decided I wanted to be a meat cutter. Penny the freemartin was killed by a local pro. She was too big for the place where we hung up the pigs & sheep.
I wonder why they didn't skin the alligator first? I think I'd prefer a good cleaver over the machete. Wouldn't cut it on a dirty wooden floor either.
free-martin...a none productive heifer? Holy crap I feel like I'm back at the farm..Anyways punching out is done with lambs..Not to be or sound sick basically you make a small cut in the hide wet your fists and you can literally remove the hide from the lamb by pushing your fist up the animal under the skin..your not *punching* it's just your hands are in fists..They showed me this the first time lambs came in it's not something they regularly do anymore..As far as the gator goes...None to sure bout a clever either lol looked like one would need a bloody sawsall to get through that..
A freemartin or free-martin (sometimes martin heifer) is an infertile female mammal which has masculinized behavior and non-functioning ovaries.[1] Genetically and externally the animal is female, but it is sterilizedin the womb by hormones from a male twin, becoming an infertile partial intersex. Freemartinism is the normal outcome of mixed-sex twins in all cattle species that have been studied, and it also occurs occasionally in other mammals including sheep, goats and pigs.
