Thanks for all the advice on getting me to this point where the cow is in 1/4's hanging and the hide is drying out w/ salt on it! The issues I'm looking into are 1.) hang time for the beef in the garage 20-40 deg. (Vermont is still quite cold this time of yr) 2.) How to best handle the hide salt, scrape, salt etc. tools, surface to best scrape on, technique... I wouldn't mind keeping the hair on and either using small pieces for leather projects or keeping it one big piece. I didn't save the head so the brain for tanning is not an option at this point. The hide came off mid morning Sunday the 31st & it does not smell at all as cold as it has been.
Any advice, tips from those that have insight would be appreciated!
