We will let you know on inspection if the skin is too thick. Our machinery is unable to process hides with very thick skin and we will not attempt as it becomes dangerous. If we find major fault on inspection: Heavy flays, holes, bacterial damage we will contact you prior to proceeding. We photograph and tag each hide on arrival. Salted hides should be stored in a cool dry area. We recommend getting us the hide within 2weeks of salting. This is best done why a hide is in a container to help hold the salt around the hide. Then add another minimum 10kg of salt over the rolled up hide focusing on exposed flesh and hair. Once this is done fold the hide in half down the back bone flesh to flesh and roll up butt to neck. Add a minimum of 25Kg salt onto the middle of the hide and use a broom to distribute the salt over the hide. Lay the hide out flat flesh side facing up. Let the hide drip dry for no more than 20 minutes. To salt a cow hide first remove body the temperature using the methods above. If freezing the hide is not possible salting can be used. We advise using the freezing method as it is more reliable for a home kill. Salting (only if freezing is not an option): Thawing time depends on the climate so more care is needed in warmer summer months. Hides can be sent to us frozen as they take some time to thaw.

Fold the hide flesh to flesh and roll up Butt to Neck with the hair out before putting into a rubbish bag for freezing. Ideally the hide should be in the freezer within 30mins of being removed. The aim is to get the hide as cold possible before freezing to prevent hot pockets.

In summer months we recommend soaking the skin in a barrel of iced water as hose water can be warmer. We will clean and flesh the hide before tanning. You do not need to clean the hide or worry about any remaining pieces of flesh or fat. The hide does not need to be completely dry before freezing. The best way which is normally accessible to cool hides is hosing off both sides or plunging into a barrel of ice cold water. If you are bringing the hide in 2+ days following slaughter or sending it to us it must be frozen. If you are bringing it in the following day it must be stored in a chiller or freezer after cooling. If you can bring the hide to us the same day it must be cooled first. Hides must be cooled directly after slaughter as per the method below. To prevent the bacteria from taking hold, the skin must be cooled immediately after slaughter. The effects of a staled hide are varied from loose or missing hair to harder finished product. Bacteria work to degrade the hide from the time of slaughter. Hide Preparation: The skin removal and initial treatment is vital for us to be able to provide you with a quality finished product. The resulting product has an ivory coloured skin with clean hair and great lustre. We process using an environmental tanning system using low water.
