Today we researched about a by-product of a cow and where it comes from. Today I researched leather boots and I found out that leather boots come from the back of a calf. The leather comes from a calf because it is soft and easier to mould to shape. The hide off a calf goes through a few processes to get to boots. The process include forming the leather to a mould and rubbing it with alcohol to help it mould to shape. The next process is soaking in water to shrink to the mould size. Then they heat and steam the leather to help it mould to the shape of somebody’s feet. The last process is taking the mould out so they can sell the boots.

Today I learnt that oils and lubricants come from beef by-products which I found very interesting. The oils that come from the cow are mainly used in cars and machinery, used for back rubbers, food and pharmaceutical uses.
