The state of the skins is down to the skill of the operator - I send off 
maybe 10 a year of the best marked butcher lamb skins, and, very rarely there 
might be one tiny hole in a batch. The skins of older sheep don't make as 
good a finished product IMHO, but the lamb ones are superb.

ps remember loads of salt!!!
