Sheepskin is a value added product of the sheep industry. Normally, animals are killed for human consumption and non-consumable parts are used in many ways. If the sheep’s skin and wool is salvageable, they are then directed to other industries. Double face sheepskin (wool on one side and leather on the other) is often used to produce footwear, floor rugs, babycare pads, wheelchair pads, drum heads, baseballs etc. The leather, also know as chamois, is often used for drum heads, high quality leather clothing etc. Extensive use of sheep by-products has ensured that the sheep industry is sustainable.
