I looking for a source for buying a spotted pre-mounted goatskin head, particularly a 12" low crown with lots of big back splotches with little white showing.

I always recommend John Balch goat skins. I prefer his “more subdued” offerings.



I suspect from your query that you may want to get in touch with Jeff Menzies. His offerings may more align with what you are describing.

I got my spotted goatskin head from Menzies, but he doesn't pre-mount.

Dave:



My supplier has been having difficulty getting these hides lately. My supply islimited.



But I do have a small number of extra-nice spotted and patterned hides (held back in reserve for special projects).



Send me a PM.  I'll let you know what might be available that is not on my website.

But first, plant a new spotted goat.
