Thread: I wing gutting an animal every time

You need to cut around the rectum etc from the outside before pulling the guts out. That was my job at the meatworks during varsity holidays, doing 1085 sheep per shift!
You need a knife four inches or so long, and cut deep right around the cavity in the pelvis. Basically stab the knife all the way in (carefully!) and cut your way right around.

The other option is when pulling the guts out, strip the intestines between two fingers (pushing the contents further down the intestines), then cut through it and take the rectum etc out separately.
