[Jacob-list] Hides and Horns

[Dennis & Barbara Schultz]

Add to Robin's advice: After the hides have been salted heavily for  3 or 4 days they can have the extra salt 'shaken off' and put somewhere to dry out. Here they never dry out from December until May. I hang my well salted and 'cured' hides over a rafter in the barn until summer when they will really dry out. Then I send them off to be tanned.
Another source of inexpensive salt is Costco or any restaurant supply house where they sell 25 pound sacks very inexpensively.
