ABSTRACT:
The present invention consists of an gambrel that can be easily and quickly hung from a variety of mounts to allow for quick, safe, reliable field dressing of slaughtered animals. It will automatically adjust to the size and weight of the slaughtered animal. The gambrel has, at most, two pivot points, which enhances the overall strength of the apparatus. It has a weight-bearing lower cross member which operates to distribute the weight of the slaughtered animal across the entire gambrel and provides for additional strength. The gambrel's hooked mounting mechanism also adds versatility in field dressing the animal.
