The production of calf skins is seasonal from July to October. Following slaughter, the skins are cooled under controlled conditions for transportation to one of our processing sites.
Skins from freezer slaughter arrive in sock form and are opened on a chain system. Skins are cured in drums or mixers by running them with 35% of their weight of dry salt with the addition of citric acid and dichlorophene. The running time is a minimum of 4 hours at 3 rpm or until such time as the brine of the skins is at least 90% saturated. The skins are unloaded and allowed to drain for between 48 and 96 hours before being graded for quality and weight.

We are able to deliver a complete product line of cattle hides ranging from conventional hides, to wet blue hides and to finished leather. Our quality hides are trimmed and carefully graded to ensure your satisfaction.
