Can you buy cow meat with the skin attached?!
Answers:
Pig skin is often used by the home chef for cracklings and other delights, whereas cow skin has no similar culinary uses, except in some rare cultures. The hides of cows are pre-sold to make leather, and are never left on commercial meats.
If you are interested in leather or in the process of making leather, look up tanneries in your area. You may be able to get materials that you could work with through them. There are specialty markets that sell meats like goat and pig and probably cow with the skin still on, as there are cuisines that use the skin in the cooking and preparation of some cultures' cuisines. But it's tanneries that process skins into usable swatches. Here in NYC, in some shops in the furriers' district, there are bins with fur scraps that you can buy and use to design things or work a little fur into a backpack or bag or hat or whatever.
Pork is very commonly sold that way, especially in ethnic markets (hispanic, asian). I have never seen beef sold that way anywhere. Unless the animal skin has been cured an preserved properly, it will start to rot and decay very quickly, even if kept refrigerated. Leather is animal skin which has been "tanned", which is a process that preserves it.
