Title: Can you get cattle hides back from the abbatoir?
Post by: sc12011 on February 12, 2016, 02:46:47 pm

Ive had sheepskins back in the past with no problems. Has anyone ever asked to keep their cattle skins?


Thanks in advance for your help :)

I take it you have your bi products licence?  If so yes you can get your cowhides back.

All i did for the sheepskins was fill out a form that i printed off and hand it in to the abbatoir, but ive never applied for anything other than that.  :)

We use Lamberts and may be interested in getting a sheep skin back at some stage in the future - may need to quiz you on this at some point. Added to buddy list so I remember  :thumbsup:
