Ox - same grades
as bull hides. (However ox numbers far
fewer than bulls)
All calf and bull hides
come from controlled feedlots, thus offering
premium grain quality, and are suitable
for quality leathergoods, shoe uppers and
upholstery leathers.
The medium/light
cows are mainly from dairy herds and
offer excellent value on price per sq.ft.
Heavy cow hides are mainly from cattle
brought up especially for meat production
and often finish in top quality sole
leathers.
