The skinned shoulder is prepared from Item No.403. The shoulder shall be partially skinned, leaving a well-rounded skin collar not exceeding 25 percent of the distance from the elbow joint to the butt edge. The skin shall be removed so that the collar line slants at least 15 degrees from the elbow side toward the jowl side. Fat remaining on the skinned surface shall not exceed 1/2 in. in depth, measured at any point 11/2 in. or more from the edge of the skin collar, and shall be beveled so that it approximately meets the lean at the butt end, and on both sides. At least traces of false lean shall be evident on the skinned surface.
