Today we are going out to a butchery where cattle become steak. Each cow produces a hide. Up until the international economy wobble about a year ago they were exporting the hides to Italy to be made, I presume, into bags and shoes. Now, it is more cost effective for them to bury them than it is to salt them and try to sell them. There’s a possibility I might be able to buy the hides (which would otherwise be landfill) from them and then find someone who is able to make belts and shoes. Maybe. We’ll see. Whether there is enough of a market here too is another question, but we’ll see.
