That’s an A+ response if there ever was one @Dave. I wonder if different breeds of cattle produce varying degrees of supple leather. It’s possible that as cattle have been line bred for higher butterfat production or better marbling in steaks, the stiffness of the hides may have inadvedently become softer.
Concentrating genes through line breeding creates more consistency but in doing so, the desired qualities as well as undesired qualities will become set.
