A pelting method which utilizes a roller which is engaged with the pelt at the head region of a worked up carcass which has been worked up so that the pelt can be removed by rolling substantially as a sheet. The rolling is effected in such a way that the inside of the pelt is exposed around the roller as the roller winds the pelt completely from the carcass. After the pelt has been removed the roller is reversed to allow the easy removal thereof.
