Quick question: in your shops, what’s your go-to process to keep hair off venison while maximizing yield? I’m trialing a hide-on backstrap pull with a gambrel, then a cold trim at 34°F followed by a 2% vinegar mist and sterile wipe, but I’d love tool or spray recommendations that truly save time during a Saturday rush…
I’d switch to ‘stockinette sleeves’ right after skinning; they grab stray hair and cut trim loss. You chilling on racks?
Quick add: a food‑grade handheld squeegee (Vikan 7131: https://www.vikan.com/en/products/hand-squeegee) after a short rack chill to about 32°F pulls hair faster than wipes and saves trim — a windshield squeegee for meat. If you keep the acid step, swap vinegar for 2% lactic to cut the smell and still get the kill — just clear it with your inspector. @bwillis22 do you sleeve pre‑chill or post‑chill?
I landed a 100% WFH lab QA role by applying within 45 minutes — taking your “apply promptly” note — and attaching a one-page skills matrix that mirrors the JD keywords (LIS, QC, and some cardiac cath exposure). Small caveat: a lot of “remote” roles still require state-specific licensure or a day of on-site onboarding, so confirm that early.
