differences in gralloching a doe?

[tonyt]

any tips on what order to take what off / out compared with fallow buck gralloch? Am starting to feel a lot more comfortable that I know what I'm doing on the bucks, but have only done one doe...

e.g.
- seems to make sense to take off udder whole without cutting into it (once off I cut into it and no suprise, leaked milk everywhere!)
- what do you do with vulva / vagina? - take out with anus in field / leave for larder?

cheers

Yes cut udder off whole, and everything out with the anus as you describe, depends whether you do a full gralloch in the field, or just a green gralloch and do the rest in the larder, if you can get the carcase straight into a carcase tray and into the vehicle that's fine, if not and you have to do any dragging better to do just a green gralloch and finish in the larder, less chance of any contamination.

thanks bogtrotter!
I guess things get a bit more complicated by spring time once carrying an embryo?

Not at all Tony just trim back and the horns come clean with the rest.
