Summer Hide Weight Change in Effect


Please Note

No Bulletin/Price Guide Published Tomorrow, April 2

There will be no publication of the Hide Bulletin/Price Guide tomorrow, April 2nd. The Jacobsen will be closed in observance of Good Friday.

Summer Weight Change Now in Effect

Every year on April 1, the Price Guide is modified to reflect lighter summer weights. While a large quantity of trades is listed today, the bulk are carry-overs from last week into the new weight range. Summer and winter weights are defined in The Jacobsen Rules for Reporting Hides Trades found at the bottom of this page.

The Price Guide will once again be modified on October 1 when we switch back to winter weights.
