If you have access to lots of them you could try cutting them down to manageable pieces and go from there.  My earlier comment was in reference to working with a full size cow hide.

With the smaller pieces you could get a feel for the skin and how it shaves, and you will see a big dfference from a deer or fox.

Good luck to yah!!

Lots of info in the Archives. If you do cow hides , you will earn them. Lots of back breaking labor .
Go for it.
