[Jacob-list] Sheepskin prep table salt vs livestock or hay salt

[Kathryn Shirley]

To tell you the truth, I've even accidentally used the iodized kind of salt with no ill affects.  The main problem, if you ask me, is price!  It is 25 cents a pound (or more).  The livestock salt is only ten cents a pound.  

Makes a big difference (in money) when you are salting a lot of hides.

I do know the salt sense salt simply doesn't pull out enough moisture (another "oops").

  Arthur and Chris and all,

  The many times I have dried out a sheep pelt for tanning (at the tannery, mind you :o)), I have used plain table salt----albeit the canning version without the added iodine----without ANY problems.  What is supposed to be the problem with using this salt?
