[Jacob-list] horn products, etc.

[Robin Lynde]

I asked a dumb question earlier about using the horns for buttons. So now I
have horns that I cut off butchered animals. Once you have the horns off the
animal what do you do with them ? Do you let them dry as is and then cut
later? Or is there something to do with them now (besides put them where the
dogs won't find them)?

I am selling lambs to a guy who will butcher them here and give me the
pelts. The skinning job wasn't quite what I expected--there are a few holes
in the pelts and I wonder if that will prevent me from being able to have
them tanned. Are lamb skins harder to remove without holes that those of
older (tougher?) animals.
