gray 29.11.2011 - 20:24
Ruslan33Well, it's inappropriate to compare soft with warm. 😊 It's one thing to deal with furs, it's another thing to hunt elk with trophy qualities. Just the labor of dragging such a head out of the forest can be estimated at your 3 thousand 😊 A hunter usually keeps a good trophy for himself, but maybe someone doesn't need it and your offer will be heard and you will gain what are you looking for. It’s just head breaks scattered through the forest 😊 one of my acquaintances the huntsman says that now such hunters have gone that they take bones with hooves 😊
No, it’s not. Somehow strange, 400 rubles is money for you, but 2-3 or more thousand is not.
gray 29.11.2011 - 20:29
Somehow strange, 400 rubles is money for you, but 2-3 or more thousand is not.400 rubles from each skin is normal money for those who mine and deal in furs.
I conducted a small educational program on prices for trophy heads in Runet. So, a finished trophy head of an elk on sale costs about 40 thousand rubles. Most taxidermy workshops for manufacturing - from 20 thousand and more.
Against this background, 3 thousand for buying a trophy head sounds like redneck 😊 😊 😊
Ruslan33 29.11.2011 - 21:05
I wrote about the cost of only the skin, and not the whole head with horns, etc. Have you looked at how much they charge for working with the same marten and what is the cost of a stuffed marten in most workshops ???????
gray 29.11.2011 - 21:13
It was supposed to hand over furs not for scarecrows. It makes no sense to hand over one or three skins per scarecrow.
gray 03.12.2011 - 18:12
Ruslan33Thanks for the clarification. In what kind of preservation is the skin needed? and what size is considered a trophy? (otherwise they’ll drag the heads of cows 😊) It goes without saying that the skin should be shoulder-deep, otherwise it’s a stump and not a head on a medallion 😊
Another small addition: A gray, trophy head in the form of a stuffed animal is just a name, and not the concept that some kind of outstanding trophy. And in most cases, for this type of product, the skin is needed not only from the head, but including the humeroscapular complex (a little further than the shoulder blades in side of the tail).
Ruslan33 03.12.2011 - 18:44
Ideally, take measurements 1 - from the tip of the nose to the eye, 2 - from the tip of the nose to the back of the head (during peeling), 3 - the circumference of the neck behind the ears (after peeling) Cuts along the top of the neck to the back of the head, back of the front legs, closer to the lips to the gums, eyelids deeper towards the eyeballs, nostrils as close as possible to the nasal bones, ears closer to the skull. Remove the skin carefully, without cuts. thick, then make longitudinal and transverse notches around the entire perimeter of the skin (in 1-1.5 cm) and rub well with salt. Or freeze immediately after peeling. A trophy is usually a large adult male, which among animal species is considered preferable for a hunter. hunting farms, the cost for hunting such animals is several times higher than the price for prey of underyearlings and other age groups. Secondly, a skull with horns, fangs, just a skull is considered a trophy. In Russia, the skins of large predators (wolf, bear, lynx, dew aha, etc.)
Regarding females and young animals, in the photo there are stuffed deer heads and a roe deer underyearling (customer's initiative).

Gray, I know you as a serious person. Unfortunately, it is now problematic to find a normal sale of furs. I myself have a problem in selling mink, polecat, and marten skins. I don’t know buyers in the area for more than 600 per marten. There are hunters who rent more, but the channels do not report, because we are competitors for them. According to rumors, prices reach up to 1200 per skin, but these are rumors. On the other hand, people get 4 likes and they are engaged only in furs for a reason. Sincerely. If you find normal prices, please write back at least in a personal

I know such people 😊 in fact, they asked me to find out how things are with this in Moscow - since their channels are limited, they are trying to find something else. Of course, I don’t do furs myself - I don’t have time for this. it's all like an amateur-delitant 😊 I know that "from our edges" they are being transported to Yaroslavl - there really prices are more interesting than Moscow ones. By posting a post in Taxidermy, I perfectly understand that there will be no demand for furs here - there is more interest in trophy animals. But there is no branch for raw materials, and in Okhota this is also not quite the topic.

It is customary to call furs the skins of fur-bearing animals - martens, foxes, minks, squirrels, lynxes, otters, ermine, raccoon, columns, muskrat, arctic fox, beaver, sable, etc. Fur is obtained by hunting or bred on fur farms.
There are two types of furs - spring and winter. Winter skins include those skins of animals that do not hibernate, and spring skins include animals that hibernate in winter and are rather difficult to hunt. The quality of wild furs is directly dependent on such characteristics as the density of the undercoat, hair height, softness, elasticity, shine, color and shade of the fur, thickness, density and strength of the leather tissue, size and weight of the skin, and the level of thermal protection. The listed properties are determined by the conditions and geographical area of habitat, the age of the fur animal, the time of year (when purchasing wild furs, we take into account all these factors). As a rule, habitat conditions are understood as a terrestrial, underground or amphibious way of life, and a geographical area is latitude (the more severe the winter in the region, the higher the quality of the furs). The skin of the animal acquires the highest quality after the completion of the molt.
Of course, such a pleasure cannot be cheap - we buy high-quality wild furs at appropriate prices.
Where are you from?
Historically, the main suppliers of wild furs are two countries - Russia and Canada. Northern maritime countries (Greenland, Norway, Russia) supply seals to the fur market. In the supply of such farm furs as fox and mink, the leaders are Scandinavia, the Netherlands, North America and, again, Russia. Breeding chinchillas on a global scale is carried out in Hungary and Mexico, astrakhan - in Namibia, Afghanistan. The best muton and the highest quality rabbit are found in Spain, and the best nutria usually come from Argentina. We buy expensive furs of excellent quality from these regions.
Greece and China are also the leaders in fur production today, and it is China that deserves special attention. Here, the lion's share of products marked, for example, with the Made in Italy label, is manufactured and then supplied to the world market. The number of Chinese factories and shops selling furs is growing rapidly - and although they buy wild furs, since they do not produce them themselves, the final products do not cause any complaints. For a real price, you can also buy a fur coat in Greece - a quality product will most likely be sewn according to patterns in compliance with the technology of an Italian company.
Currently, the wholesale fur trade through which about 90% of the world's fur sales are carried out is the fur auctions Kopenhagen Fur (Denmark), Finnish Fur Sales (Finland), NAFA (Canada), American Legend (USA), Soyuzpushnina (Russia), Fur Harvesters (Canada) and Western Canadian Raw Fur Auction Sales (Canada).
We value each of our clients and are ready to provide you with services in accordance with the profile of our activities. The specifics of the company are fur skins and fur products. If you are interested in buying and working with wild furs, we will always be happy to help you.
Acceptance of raw materials. Whole skins are taken from the primary processing shop and counted by quantity, while halves and pieces are counted by weight. Received skins are examined from the wool and skin sides. The raw material to be rite is separated and dressed. The duration of technological operations for processing skins before conservation, including acceptance, should not exceed 3 hours for skins of cattle, horses and camels from the moment of removal from carcasses, for skins of pigs and sheepskins - 2 hours.
Rite of raw materials. The rite consists in the removal of cuts of meat, fat, blood clots, bulk and other weighting agents from the skins.
The bulk is softened before being removed from the skins of cattle. In the manual ritual, cuts of meat and fat are removed on special tables (16), washed with tap water, using a shower-scraper, goats and carts for washing and flowing around the skins.
At low-power meat processing plants, fat is removed on a log for skinning pork skins (17). To soften the pile, the skins are moistened with tap water, folded "into a fish" with the wool outward and stacked up to 30 skins in racks for 30-40 minutes.
Soaking and partial removal of bulk can be carried out with running water in washing drums (18).
The washing drum is made of stainless steel. It is equipped with two bands resting on four supporting rollers, and one band carrying an sprocket, which receives rotation from an electric motor through a worm gear and chain. From the end sides, the drum is closed with annular bottoms, which increase its rigidity. On the one hand, the bottom excludes the free exit of skins at the lowest position of the drum. The skins are given out with fists (42 pieces, section 100x100, height 200 mm), mounted inside the drum along a helix. The fists are also designed to turn the skins over and move them along the axis of the drum.
Recirculation of water used for washing and softening bulk is provided. Two pipes are installed inside the drum: for the supply of clean water from the pipeline, intended for the final washing of the skins before they are issued from the machine, and for the supply of recirculating water used for locking the skins.
Table-rack for washing paired skins (GIPROmyaso design) is a gable wooden cover made of boards 25 mm thick, which are fixed with nails on four racks. Each post is made up of 75 mm thick main beams and triangular profile ribs. The main ribs and beams are interconnected by five dowels of trapezoidal section. The top of the table is covered with stainless steel sheet 1 mm thick.
Two perforated pipes with fans are mounted above the table at a height of 700 mm. The holes on the pipe (27 pieces with a diameter of 2.5 mm) are arranged in three rows symmetrically at an angle of 30 "on a section 800 mm long. The overall dimensions of the table are 2748x2000x430 mm, weight - 345 g.
The table for washing and cleaning bulk skins (cattle) is a convex lid supported by six legs, which are connected by gussets to the lid frame. The frame of the cover is made of a corner, on the shelves of which pine boards 40 mm thick are fixed. The top of the table top is covered with a 1 mm thick stainless steel sheet. The end walls of the frame are covered with shields made of sheet steel 4 mm thick. These shields give the required rigidity to the frame. The legs of the table are made of pipes equipped with threads, onto which the support bodies are screwed, allowing you to change the height of the table. Overall dimensions of the table are 2300x1800x1000 mm, weight 212 kg.
Removal of bulk from the skins of cattle is also carried out on a skinning machine with a working passage width of 3200 mm with blunt knives or on a continuous bulk machine. For processing, the skin is placed on the feed roller of the machine with the wool up and the rump first so that it lies on the shaft without wrinkles. Then turn on the car. After processing the first half, the skin is again fed into the machine with a turner forward and the bulk is removed from the second half. The bulk can also be removed once by placing the skin in the machine with the rump forward and holding it by the bangs.
During the operation of the machine, the pile is washed off the skin with a continuous stream of water that enters the knife shaft and is removed into the receiver.
The required degree of pile removal (without skin damage) is set by adjusting the gap between the pressure and knife rolls.
At the end of the work it is necessary to turn off the electric motor, make a complete cleaning of the bulk machine and the workplace from dirt.
Machines MM-3200 and MM-2M can be used both for rituals and for removing bulk. The difference lies in the fact that the knife shaft of the mezdrial machine is equipped with sharp knives, and when cutting bulk - blunt ones.
In order to intensify and automate the processes of sanitization, feed-through bulk harvesters (19) have been developed, in which pre-moistened skins are moved with the skin side outward over three pairs of cleaning rollers.
Skin processing is carried out in the following sequence. The skin is fixed with clamps on the feed conveyor with the hair down, then it is moved by the conveyor through the working area above the shafts with teeth located in it at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the feed conveyor. To improve the removal of bulk in the working area from below, water is supplied to the wool surface of the skin under a pressure of 0.15-0.3 MPa. This technology requires additional washing of skins - cleaning of the skin surface, after which the skins are squeezed on special devices with rolls from excess moisture, or they are lined to drain moisture.
It is allowed to remove pile manually on a wooden block, the outer semicircular side of which is smoothly planed and covered with non-corrosive metal. The deck is set at an angle of 45-60 in metal trays to collect the knocked down bulk. The skin is laid on the deck with the wool up, the rump down. The pile is removed with the help of a dead end, which is moved along the contaminated areas of the skin in the direction of the hair.
In small-capacity meat processing plants and slaughterhouses, to facilitate manual labor when removing bulk, bulk planers are used, the main working body of which is knife shafts, which, as a result of rapid rotation, knock bulk from the skin. The planer is attached to a suspension cable, which has a counterweight on the opposite side.
The skin is attached to the table with a clamping bar. They lower the planer onto the skin, turn on the electric motor and move the planer away from themselves forward through the bulk places. The return of the planer to its original position is carried out in an elevated state. The blades of the knife shaft must be blunt to avoid possible damage to the front layer of the skin. The distance from the knives to the supporting surface of the planer skis should be 2-3 mm.
When removing bulk, its scattering is not allowed. As it accumulates, the bulk is removed from the receiver. When processing skins, it is necessary to ensure that their skin side is not contaminated.
For a complete cleaning of the skins after processing on bulk racing machines, they are washed in inclined washing drums or longboats, as well as under a shower.
Bulk can be removed from the surface of the skins on centrifugal machines. At the same time, for the best removal of dirt from the skins, the inner surface of the machines must be equipped with corrugated elastic-flexible or elastic elements. This technology makes it possible to remove from the skins not only the pile itself, but also other contaminants located both on the wool and on the skin surfaces of the skins.
Soaking bulk on the skins of cattle in solutions of detergents is carried out as follows:
Prepare a solution consisting of 980 kg of water, 10 kg of table salt, 10 kg of soda ash. Not more than 500 kg of skins are loaded into the container until completely immersed and kept without stirring for 15-30 minutes. The temperature of the soaking solution is maintained between 15 and 35°C. The bulk soaking solution is used repeatedly during one shift. Before the next change, the container is washed with tap water, removing impurities.
Bulk is removed on centrifugal machines with a modified working area for bulk cutting. 1-2 skins are loaded into a centrifugal machine, running water is supplied (at a temperature of 15-35 ° C, and then it is turned on). Skins are washed for 1-3 minutes until the pollution of the washing water stops, after which the water supply is stopped. Then, for 30-60 seconds, the skins are squeezed out of excess moisture in a centrifugal field, after which they are automatically unloaded from the machine and transferred for conservation.

Bulk can be removed on G6-FTSS (MOS-ZS) centrifugal machines, having previously isolated the electric motor, which prevents it from flooding with water.
Before canning, bulkless and bulk-cleaned raw hides are dressed from cuts of meat (except for "magpie") and weighting agents. In addition, the mane is cut from horse skins. From the skins of cattle, the head and tail parts removed in violation of the requirements of the standard for raw hides are removed. Subcutaneous fatty tissue is removed from pork skins. The surface burdock is removed from the sheepskin, cuts of meat and fat with a thickness of more than 3 mm.
The rite of skins from cuts of meat and fat is carried out on skinning machines or manually. Large skins are tied on machines with a passage width of 3200 mm, pork 2200, small cattle 1600-1800 mm.
Cuts of meat and fat are removed from the skins with sharply sharpened knives of a rapidly rotating knife shaft. The gap between the knife and pressure rollers of the machine is set in such a way as to ensure the removal of weighting agents in accordance with the requirements of the state standard for raw hides.
The skin is fed to the feed roller of the machine with the skin side up. First, one (back) half of the skin is processed, then the other (front).
When manually removing cuts, the skins are spread on the table with the wool down. The worker, holding a knife in one hand, with the other lifts a section of the skin near the cuts so that the area where there are cuts of meat and fat is on weight, and cuts them off. The rite of skins can be done with a skin or a scythe on a block upholstered in non-corrosive metal. There should be a container with warm water at the workplace for washing tools. Change the water as it gets dirty. The removed cuts are collected in special boxes.
Removal of subcutaneous fat from the skins of pigs, as a rule, is carried out in the slaughterhouse and butchering of carcasses, since the fat is sent for food purposes. This operation is carried out on mashing machines or manually. Before skinning pork skins on machines, in order to avoid damage, a cut is made in the rump along the ridge line: up to 8 cm on small, up to 12 cm on medium and up to 15 cm on large skins.
The ritual of pig skins is done by hand in the same way as the skins of cattle. Pork skins (except for boar skins) must have a uniform thickness over the entire area due to a layer of fat on the floors, the residual amount of which should not exceed 6% of their mass.
Determination of the number of cuts of fat on pork skins is carried out by external examination. At the same time, if an excessive amount of fat is detected, the entire batch of raw leather 60 is subjected to a control check for the content of excessive fat cuts.
The skins selected for testing, after shaking out the salt, are processed on a skinning machine. If the amount of fat on pork skins during their check exceeds the established norm by more than 2% of the mass of the skins of the batch, then the entire batch is sent for additional testing. The subcutaneous fat collected in the skin-canning shop is used to produce technical fat.
Sheepskins with superficial burrs and cuts of meat and fat with a thickness of more than 3 mm can be performed on skinning machines.
Sheepskins that require rituals along the hair and the mezra are processed first along the hair and only after that along the mezra. The removal of surface burd from the hair is carried out on machines with blunt knives, and the removal of cuts of meat and fat is done on machines with sharp knives. Sheepskins with the preservation of subcutaneous tissue (mezdra), as well as cuts of meat and fat less than 3 mm thick, are considered properly dressed.
It is not allowed to process woolen sheepskins, sheepskins with bulk, rolled up burrs, sores on the leather fabric, signs of hair flow, the presence of tears and holes, fur sheepskins with skinny leather fabric, sheepskins on the mezra in the presence of burrs.
It is not allowed to remove cuts of meat and fat on the deck from sheepskins.
Outerwear made from valuable fur can help in solving financial problems. To do this, you can hand over a fur coat to fur pawnshops. This is a very affordable and profitable way to get cash.

More detailed information about pawnshops where fur coats are accepted can be found on our website.
The skins of sheep and cattle are applicable in many household chores. For a long time, used by our ancestors, and to this day they have not lost their relevance. Therefore, the idea of a small business in the processing of skins will not be extremely difficult to reproduce, especially if people from auls take up this business.
general information. A fresh skin is called a pair. For a tanner, there is no better skin than a steam room, especially if it is not stained with blood and dirt. But it is rarely possible to immediately send the skin to the factory or dress it yourself. And when lying, the steam skin quickly deteriorates. At first she shrinks, frowns, becomes horny. Then she starts to sing. Her hair is falling off. In the end, she completely rots. Therefore, something has to be done so that the skin is preserved without damage.
Skin processing.
After cleaning, the skin is rubbed with a mixture of equal parts of table salt and alum, finely ground. This mixture is used not only so that the undressed skin does not rot, but also to fix the hair.
The peeled skin must be salted as follows: salt is taken fine. For each skin, it is taken in winter from 200 g per 1 kg of skin weight and up to 300 g in summer. For a large bull skin, you will have to take 5.7-6.6 kg of salt in winter, and 8.2-10.2 kg of salt in summer; 3.3-5 kg will go on a cowhide in winter, and 5-6.2 kg in summer.
Processing mechanism. The skin is placed on a clean place in the spread, with wool on the ground or on the floor. It is good to put some kind of lining under the skin so that sputum can drain from it. The whole skin is evenly sprinkled with salt from the inside; it is useful to grind the salt with your hand so that it sticks well to the skin. If the skin is properly salted, then after three days it will show solid salt. If all its salt has been absorbed, then it is necessary to add fresh salt. When the whole skin is evenly salted, the head and part of the skin at the tail are bent inward, as well as the floors at the edges. Then salt is sprinkled on the head and all the thick parts along the wool.
Now fold the whole skin into a bundle. You have to fold according to the rules. First, the fourth part of the skin is folded inwards, starting from the head, then the right and left floors are folded to the middle, then the whole skin is folded along the ridge, then rolled up, starting from the head, into a bundle, and tied with a tail or twine.
Five days later, the bundle is disassembled. The sputum is allowed to drain, lightly salted and rolled up again, as for the first time. If everything is done according to the rules, then the skin will lie for a long time and will not rot.
When a lot of skins are collected, they can be salted in riots or stacks.
The first skin is salted on the floor in spreading, as has just been described. Then the whole skin is bent around so that the head, legs and floors lie inside, and the whole skin around becomes like a saucer. All bent parts are sprinkled with salt over the wool, the head is especially carefully added. Then they put the second skin so that the head does not fall on the head of the first skin, but next to it. Everything is done as with the first skin. The third, fourth, fifth and so on are placed on the second in the same way, each time salting everything well. Heads will lie in a circle one after another. Up to 200 skins can be stacked into such a riot. The brine in the riot should not flow to one side, which can happen if the skins are not properly spread out.
If the skin was poorly salted, then it will rot. When the skin begins to rot, hair will begin to come off it, first of all. From time to time, you need to twitch your hair with your fingers. On a healthy skin, the hair sits firmly, and on a lean one, it immediately rips out easily. A buckled hide is no good for a tanner. Then the skin is turned inside out with the fur, with the skin outside and dried well in the shade, preferably in the wind. To dry, the skin is hung up, stretched, but not pulled out. It is impossible to dry the skin in the sun or near a hot stove, you need the usual room temperature.
When the skin dries, but does not lose elasticity (the skin should not be overdried), it is carefully folded with the wool inside and finally dried.
In this form, the skin is stored until it is dressed for long-term storage or a stuffed animal is made from it. .
Sales. Skins are widely used in the domestic light industry, where additional processing and dressing of skins is carried out according to certain state quality standards. Raw materials purchased by the organization are strictly selected according to state standards for further production and production of semi-finished products from various leathers.
