Fleshing” hides by machine

After skinning and before stretching and drying, all excess flesh must be removed from the pelt. This process is called “fleshing.” If all the fat is not removed, grease burns will occur. In addition, fatty pelts do not dry properly and will spoil quickly. (Source: Andrews JB. Anthrax as an occupational disease. Bulletin of the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics No. 205.
