cow hides

Hey can anybody help me out or give me some tips on the best way to store cow hides and how to keep them the fresh. Thanks in advanced.

Are they cured or raw? If raw keep in a freezer until ready to use or cure them. If cured just keep them dry.

Thanks brother. I made too big of a order :lol: So i use to get them locally so i could stop and pick up only as much as i needed. Didn't know if they would last or not.
