Cowhides-Brazilian-Solid Off-White
The cowhides below are the ACTUAL ONES SENT; as a result, multiple hides of any one picture cannot be ordered. If more than one hide is wanted, please call us or find another hide on our website.
White cows in Nature are actually "off white" and not pure white. In addition, they almost always have areas of shading along the spine and sides along with small amounts of brown or black spotting. Very rarely will we receive white hides with uniform black speckling and striations throughout. This adds a unique, more authentic, beauty to a white cowhide.
Having said all that, some hides are definitely whiter and more uniform in color than others. Representing only 2-3 out of 100 white hides, these more uniformly white hides will cost more money. At the most, we only get 5 or 6 of these more uniformly white hides, every 4-6 weeks. As a result, it is not unusual for a customer to have to wait a few weeks before we can ship. Nice white hides in stores can easily cost $700-$800. This is assuming you can even find a nice one in the first place, which is doubtful. It is also highly unlikely that you will find them as nice as what we offer here and certainly not nicer!
We sell less expensive white cowhides elsewhere on our website for $459 and up (these less expensive hides can be seen here). The price difference between those and the ones we offer below will depend on the amount of natural markings, shading and markings from processing that the cowhides have.
Nine out of ten white hides are long hair as manufacturers keep most of the short hair hides to make into zebra prints. As a result, nice short hair white cowhides are rarey ever available. Fortunately, long hair cowhides are generally prettier and more uniform in color than short hair hides due to the fact that the long hair causes the natural shading and spotting to blend in better.
Speaking about long hair and short hair hides...the hair on a short hair hide will look like the hair on a little "weiner" dog (dachshund or doxen dog) while the hair on a long hair hide is usually just long enough where you can "see" and "grab" the hair.
Two good alternatives to a "white" cowhide would be either a "cream" or a light palomino cowhide. "Cream" is as light a color that still has pigment to it. "Light palomino" is a very light, pale brown. Both the cream and light palomino hides usually have a beautiful sheen to them
