Yes, this is the same goat that has the blood stains, and I noticed it is also missing the outer hoof covering from two hooves. Since this is for a rug, it would be nice to have complete hooves. How can I get replacement hooves and/or is it possible to sculpt on new ones?
By the way, is it common for hooves to fall off during the tanning process, or did I do something wrong when I skinned them out? I skinned them to the last knuckle as with all other mammals and there is no hair slippage around the foot.
Thanks, Juli

I got one back from the tannery that had 7 out of the 8 off but sent them along. the customer will be picking it up next week. it is a 1/2 mount so if he dont want the extra hooves i may have them for you. the tannery should replace them
