Calves from three to six weeks old,

from 80 to 120 pounds, are the most

head should be cut out, so as to leave
the hide of the head on the skin. The

moved, excepting the kidneys: the liver
and heart should be taken out. Cut the
carcass open from the neck through the
entire length-from head to BUM
