Hang on the wall or turn into a rug. I have a friend who paid quite a bit for a real cowhide 2 years ago in Texas for a rug.

Ajay · Answer

Thanks for all your suggestions. This cowhide is stiff and hard—cannot bend it at all. So I decided to cut out circles and write sayings on the hide, then mount on walls!

Hello Ajay. As others have said, it depends on how large the cowhide is and also if it has been tanned or not, what you might want to make out of it. Here's a video with some information you might enjoy.
