Silence of the Lambs (Graphic Images)

Warning!!!!!

GRAPHIC IMAGES!!!!



We went to our teacher Rolf to learn how to slaughter lambs. He sure knows his stuff since everything went so smooth. After todays experience I feel sure enough to do this on my own. Some photos might seem graphic so if you are sensitive to this stuff Do Not Browse This Post !!!

Elisabeth and Rolf choosing which 2 are to be slaughteterd ...
Once chosen 2 bullets are placed into their heads very fast, then he cuts thier arteries on their throats so the blood can run out ...
blowing air under lambs skin for easy skin removal, it look like a baloon ...
time to skin the lamb ... students watching ... some not feeling good about all this bloody mess ...
taking out the inside ...
then it was our turn to try it ...
the lamb will hang for a week so the musscles can soften. It will hang 50 day-grades (Celsius) So if the outdoor temp is 10'C it will hang for 5 days. If the temp is 5'C it will hang for 10 days.
We will be cutting these lamb into pieces next Thursady and will also slaughter a few chicks.
