The first and most important procedures are related to the conservation and storage of fresh raw hides. We are implementing all protection measures against contamination and the occurrence of infectious diseases. Proper hygiene and high-quality conservation is important in further stages of the processing.

Importance of anatomy of raw head skin
It is very important, that bovine head skins are removed from cattle according standards. Meaning, no deformations due to removal or cuts from a knife.
The skin must have all anatomical parts – scalp, ears, and hair. We are removing large horns. Small bull horns stay on.
The size, weight, and thickness of raw skins may vary due to the size, age, and breed of the bovine. We are trying to meet the needs of customers so deviations are at minimum.
