The purpose of this publication is to show, in words and pictures, how hides can be removed and cared for on the farm or in the locker plant so that full value can be received from them. Specific directions are given for correct skinning and salting, and the principal faults in these procedures that render parts of the hide useless to tanners are explained. General hide characteristics that influence their grade and price are also discussed.
