Received a request: I am a leather craftsman from Vancouver Island and recently I have started to explore leather tanning. I am contacting you because I am most interested in tanning goats hides. If any of your members have unwanted hides after butchering, I would be very interested in acquiring hides from them. Hope to hear back soon. [email protected]
