This work aimed to evaluate the physical-mechanic characteristics of crossed sheep leathers from hairy tropical crioula ewes mated with Texel wooly breed (TE) and Santa Inês (SI) hair tropical breed rams. Twenty two skin were evaluated from male sheep slaughtered at average of 240 days of age and 21.9 ± 4.4 and 20.9 ± 3.4 body live weight, respectively for TE and SI. After skinning, pelts were weighed, conserved in brine and salted and classified by quality before the chromium-tanned. […]
