Buffalo
Hides

Middle: Another gorgeous buffalo hide.
Right: Buffalo at a ranch in Quebec, Canada
These are good
quality U.S. or Canadian buffalo skins that have been tanned in either Canada,
the U.S., or Peru--as
stated on each individual hide. The hides are soft and
supple.
See pictures of individual hides farther down on this page.
Genus and species:
Bison bison. Ranch.
These buffalo
come from ranching operations and are not endangered. They are not subject
to CITES, but must be inspected by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife service for
all imports or exports. The buffalo hides we sell are a by-product of the food
industry. The animals are not killed just for their hides.
There are still
some wild buffalo running around in northern Canada that are heavily
protected. None of the buffalo we sell come from wild herds.

These
winter buffalo robes are the best quality hides available anywhere. They
are tanned in the U.S. and have a soft supple tan in parchment color (not blue)
and come with silky fur. Both the hide side and fur side are perfect--no
holes, no hair slips, no sewing, no patches, no stains. They are suitable
for painting on the backs. They come with tails.

These skins have nice, long winter hair and look
fine from the hair side, but have more patches than is normal on the hide
side. They are excellent value for money. We only get a handful like

Gallery of Craft Grade
Buffalo Hides in Stock
We offer craft grade buffalo hides for people who
need more material than commonly found in scrap, but not a full #1 hide.
These often have quite a bit of fur on them and permit the making of larger
craft items. The areas without fur can be used for buffalo leather.
The hides are shown in the gallery below and are priced individually.
Please note that the white areas on the hides below are where the hair is
missing. The white areas are leather, not white hair.

Gallery of Reject Grade
Buffalo Hides in Stock
We have a limited number of reject grade buffalo hides.
These are ideal for use in tee-pees or for cutting up. The hair is
typically not as long as for the craft grade skins. The hides often have
many imperfections. The tanning on the hides is about the same as for the
better grade skins. The problems have more to do with hair loss and length
than anything else. The hides are shown in the gallery below and are priced individually.

Questions and Answers
|
Q:
How much does it cost to ship a buffalo to me?
A:
Where do you live. We need your shipping address in order to provide
a quote.
Q:
Do the buffalo hides have a smell to them?
A:
All fur products will have some smell. There is only a slight smell
to the buffalo. We have a lot of moth balls in our warehouse, so the
hides may have a slight aroma for a few days until they air out.
Q:
Can I return the hide if I don't like it?
A:
Of course. All we ask is that you let us know within five days of
receipt that you are not happy with the hide. You pay shipping and
insurance both ways. We will refund your payment when the hide
arrives in our warehouse in the same condition as when it left.
Q:
Can I use the hides as a rug or on a couch?
A:
Yes. The hides do not have a hollow hair. Unlike reindeer or
other members of the deer family with hollow hair, buffalo hair does not
fall out if you walk on it or sit on it. We cannot guarantee that no
hair will ever fall out, but we have never seen extensive shedding or
problems with these skins.
Q:
How do I clean my hide?
A:
The best way to clean a hide is to have a furrier drum this with special
chemicals for the fur trade. This usually requires shipping it
somewhere and can be expensive. Most people find that beating the
hides outside helps to remove dirt. You can use a wool cleaner for
small areas (just dampen the area, do not soak the skin). Do not put
this skin in a larger washing machine because they are not designed to
handle this.
Q:
Where do the buffalo hides come from?
A:
Most hides come from buffalo ranches. The animals are raised for
meat. The hides are a by-product of the food industry. |
