This week: In Europe, at least, production stops this week and most tanneries then close for a week or, in many cases, for two. However long the stoppage is, in principle purchases and deliveries are fixed until at least mid-January and hardly anyone will be concerned with the question of rawhide purchases until then. The situation is certainly somewhat different for overseas customers and it would not be surprising if the usual suspects did not also try to use the holiday period in Europe to find one or two special offers in the next 14 days.
