I'm with the BS crowd, but.... Leather is almost all exported for processing. A lot of old cow leather came from dead cows. Yup, I got the grand tour one time, and once was enough. When the 'dead wagon' picked up the cows before they were rendered there was a crew of 'persons of questionable immigration status' skinning the carcasses. The hides were shipped to S.E. Asia to make into industrial leather.
With the change in FDA's ruling on what can be rendered and what cant our local receiving station closed. There is another company doing dead animal pickup but its not nearly as cost effective or convenient. Plus, the animals have to be worked up at an out of state plant. I've had more billable hours on the backhoe and dozer the past two years burying animals than anything else.
So, all that good old cow leather isnt going to China for industrial leather anymore. What is, I suspect they are keeping.
