Pro butcher tips from this video:

1) Make a cradle for the animal to lie on its back with its feet up in the air. Don't try to skin it while it's hanging.

2) If you notice that you've contaminated any meat, just clean your blade and cut out the contaminated piece of meat.

Index:
1:33 - Seth starts on the hind leg by cutting the tendon and working his way down. Then, the other leg.
2:05 - Explanation of how The Butchers keep themselves and the meat clean throughout. They have a stream of 180 degree water to keep the utensils clean. At home, you can just have a hot pot of water nearby that's at least 180 degrees F.
2:21 - One long continuous cut through the belly of the animal.
2:38 - Back to the first leg. Don't cut through these tendons. Same process again on the other leg.
3:51 - Siding the animal. Follow the previous cut on the belly to remove the hide in systematic fashion. Pull the hide towards yourself and keep a nice, downward pressure on the knife. Nice long strokes. Continue working around the entire animal, keep the hide away from the meat to keep the meat clean.
9:51 - Split the brisket (use a handsaw if you don't have a power saw).
10:27 - The next generation of (bearded) butchers.
10:52 - Lifting the animal carcass up into the air to finish skinning the backside of the beef.
13:05 - Lift it up the rest of the way. Finish removing the hide. Let gravity help you with the hide at this point.
