See below for a gallery of available skins.
We offer a limited selection of chrome-tanned, unborn, or prematurely born calf skins, often called either slink skins or slunk skins. The hide side is soft and supple. See below for our GALLERY of skins in stock, and more notes on sizes and uses. Our website is updated most days, so the information below is generally up to date. We have three categories of unborn calf skins: 1) Small (early stage fetus with very, very short hair) - We do not usually stock these as they are very small--only one or two square feet. We can get some on a custom-order basis, but please allow up to two months. 2) Medium (medium stage fetus with very short hair) - These are usually in stock. The medium skins have very short hair (about 1/4") and almost appear to be sheared. The skin is very fine and soft. The vast majority are solid black, but we do get a limited number of black and white or brown and white skins. The skins average only 2-3.5 square feet. 3) Large (late stage unborn calves with longer hair, up to 3/4"). The skins average about 5 to 6 square feet.
Genus and species: Bos taurus. Ranch.
There are no export controls from USFWS or CITES.

Cleaning Instructions
To clean your calf skin, first
use a brush in the direction of the hair (not against the knap) to remove
loose dirt. Then wet the skin with a damp cloth. Apply a very
small amount of shampoo and rub with the hair. Brush gently
with the hair. Wipe with clean water until the soap suds are gone.
When it dries, the skin will be hard. Rub and stretch the hide with
your hands to soften it again.
