Preserving a Legacy

Twenty years ago we preserved the hide from a red Highland steer. We wanted to show the difference between a pure Highland and a Highland/ShorthonX. This hide is from a roan Xbred steer. It took 17 months to complete the tanning, which needed to be sent to Pennsylvania from Vermont. The hair is very soft and the hide is thinner than that of the pure Highland. We are pleased with how it turned out.
