Basically casualty hides are cattle hides not slightered, but from natural death.
Are these hides used for leather production?
Normally yes. They will be graded after damp blue tanning. This is the first period that buyer can see the upshot of the GRAIN. Hides can have (but must not) have grain defects. These grain defected hides can be used for buffing, embossed and printed leathers.
One customer told me the subsequent to. Is it definite?
"Causalty hides have a called selection of C only and not A/B.
Please insist this as nobody can appointment this selection A/B for casualty hides."
What client said is WRONG !!! Because ........ yes he is right that casualty hides can be (but must not) of lower atmosphere. With the bank account of damp salted CASUALTY cattle hides all buyer knows that these are casualty hides and no usual hides from regular slaughtherhouse killing. Our indicted selection as soon as 80 % A, 20 % B is the same as for fine regulary hides. That means of defects following holes, cuts ... = defects these are visual in that raw (damp salted) condition. Casualty hides can have grain defects, but this can be visual lonesome after damp blue tanning process. But we sell in raw (damp salted) and not in damp blue.
For your added hint: Casualty hides are from animals that were NOT killed in slaughterhouse. These animals died taking into account mention to the pasture or in the stable of the farmer. Then the dead body comes considering-door hours of day or some hours progressive to a special slaughterhouse and cut off the hides from the body by robot (= robot flayed). But animals were NOT killed in any slaughterhouse, but died as regards natural mannerism at farmers area.
But as well as the prices in symbol of regulary hides to casualty hides .... casualty hides are app. 30 50 % cheaper. So subsequently the descrption of wet salted CASUALTY cattle hides each tanner knows what it is and what he can produce from such hides.
