I believe Weibke’s might still be giving a few bucks for them, or at least taking them.

Amazing. Have any of you priced a leather belt recently? just Most of the stuff you see in stores is fake leather. Crap that we would be better off without! Wife brought home a dress belt awhile back, thiink she paid ten-twelve bucks for it, and after wearing it awhile, it cracks and breaks where the buckle meets the pin. WTH kinda crap is that! I did buy a good belt at a harness shop in Indiana from the Amish, and it was pricy, but it will prolly out last me! If we buy the crap they are peddling, they will keep making it! The average idiot out there don't know the difference, so they buy that cheap crap. I don't know what the answer is, because most don't pay attention to anything but cheap!

I believe if I am not mistaken I was looking on Petska's website yesterday and they are still taking beef hides or interested in hearing about them anyways. And Lee I have a friend that is into making leather gear. He has made a few holsters for me and now a belt for me and my wife. He showed me the difference in the crap leather you are talking about and the real thing. I had no idea. My $40 belt he made me will outlast me like you said and I got to support a good friend of mine in a dying art really. Anyone can check him out if you want Bearpaw leather works is his company. I think he is on facebook and possibly a webpage as well.

I just talked to Greg, and he told me they cant even give them away. If you know where you saw that on the website, send me a link, I'll try to get it updated. He's still buying Deer, and Elk hides however.

Not sure who’s buying.
Side note: I’ve been told most of my life the big packers (Tyson, Excel) averaged more off the hide than the cattleman has averaged on the cattle he’s selling.

Well, I'm in the market for some new lace up boots. These are about wore out. You better believe I'm buying leather. I've no interest in a pair of tennis shoes being marketed as boots.

I have went through the petska site and cant find it anywhere. I would have swore that's where i saw it because i was all over the site yesterday finding fur routes for my area and what not. I suspect i need to admit i should have double checked that before posting it. I don't want to get anyone led the wrong way because i am less than intelligent.
