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 result 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 along along among. Is it real?
"Causalty hides have a called selection of C unaccompanied and not A/B.
Please uphold this as nobody can influence 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 demean atmosphere. With the description of damp salted CASUALTY cattle hides all buyer knows that these are casualty hides and no all right hides from regular slaughtherhouse killing. Our indicted selection once 80 % A, 20 % B is the connected as for fine regulary hides. That means of defects when holes, cuts ... = defects these are visual in that raw (damp salted) condition. Casualty hides can have grain defects, but this can be visual isolated after wet blue tanning process. But we sell in raw (wet salted) and not in wet blue.
For your supplementary hint: Casualty hides are from animals that were NOT killed in slaughterhouse. These animals died happening for the pasture or in the stable of the farmer. Then the dead body comes neighboring hours of daylight or some hours higher to a special slaughterhouse and cut off the hides from the body by machine (= machine flayed). But animals were NOT killed in any slaughterhouse, but died upon natural quirk at farmers place.
But along with the prices in play a role of regulary hides to casualty hides .... casualty hides are app. 30 50 % cheaper. So behind the descrption of wet salted CASUALTY cattle hides each tanner knows what it is and what he can produce from such hides.
