Talmud for Tamid 4:2
לֹא הָיָה שׁוֹבֵר בּוֹ אֶת הָרֶגֶל, אֶלָּא נוֹקְבוֹ מִתּוֹךְ עַרְכּוּבּוֹ וְתוֹלֶה בוֹ. הָיָה מַפְשִׁיט וְיוֹרֵד עַד שֶׁהוּא מַגִּיעַ לֶחָזֶה. הִגִּיעַ לֶחָזֶה, חָתַךְ אֶת הָרֹאשׁ וּנְתָנוֹ לְמִי שֶׁזָּכָה בוֹ. חָתַךְ אֶת הַכְּרָעַיִם וּנְתָנָן לְמִי שֶׁזָּכָה בָהֶן. מֵרַק אֶת הַהֶפְשֵׁט, קָרַע אֶת הַלֵּב וְהוֹצִיא אֶת דָּמוֹ. חָתַךְ אֶת הַיָּדַיִם וּנְתָנָן לְמִי שֶׁזָּכָה בָהֶן. עָלָה לָרֶגֶל הַיְמָנִית, חֲתָכָהּ וּנְתָנָהּ לְמִי שֶׁזָּכָה בָהּ, וּשְׁתֵּי בֵיצִים עִמָּהּ. קְרָעוֹ, וְנִמְצָא כֻלּוֹ גָלוּי לְפָנָיו. נָטַל אֶת הַפֶּדֶר וּנְתָנוֹ עַל בֵּית שְׁחִיטַת הָרֹאשׁ מִלְמַעְלָן. נָטַל אֶת הַקְּרָבַיִם וּנְתָנָן לְמִי שֶׁזָּכָה בָהֶם לַהֲדִיחָן. וְהַכֶּרֶס מְדִיחִין אוֹתָהּ בְּבֵית מְדִיחִין כָּל צָרְכָּהּ. וְהַקְּרָבַיִם מְדִיחִין אוֹתָן שְׁלשָׁה פְעָמִים בְּמִעוּטָהּ, עַל שֻׁלְחָנוֹת שֶׁל שַׁיִשׁ שֶׁבֵּין הָעַמּוּדִים:
[The one who hung the the <i>Tamid</i> and cut it apart] would not break its leg [as butchers do], rather he would make a hole in it through its knee and hang it [from the hole]. He would skin it and go downward until he reached the chest. [When] he reached the chest, he would cut the head and give it the one who won [the right] to [carry] it. He would cut the feet [lower end near the hoof] and give them to the one who won [the right] to [carry] them. He would then finish the skinning. [Then] he would rip [out] the heart and remove its blood. He would cut [off] the front [upper] legs and give them to the one who won [the right] to [carry] them. He went up to the right hind [upper] leg and cut it off and give it to the one who won [the right] to [carry] and the two testicles were [attached] to it. He would tear apart [the rest of the lamb] and [the body cavity] would be exposed before him. He would take the fat and put it over [cover] the place of slaughter of the head, on top of it. He would take the intestines and give them to the one who won [the right] to them to rinse them. And the rumen, they would rinse in the rinsing chamber. They would rinse it as much as necessary. The intestines, were rinsed at least three time on the tables of marble that were between the pillars.
