Is all that extra work and expense worth it for the few extra bucks you are after?

I skin them and straight to the washer for a rinse cycle no soap or anything, while their wet I go through, looking for cockle burs they come out way easier , hang over night with fan to dry. Then I roll up tail to nose with a loop of string around the nose and put in the freezer. When I have a batch ready to flesh I'll pull them out in the evening and hang them up by the string and put the fan back on them. The next morning they have unrolled and are more or less thawed enough to flesh and board.
I do use our home washer I'll get just a few little hairballs here and there. Our dog bed/blanket leave way more of a mess than any of the coons or coyotes that I've rinsed. Even the animals that look fairly clean, the water will be pretty brown during the rinse. J

The buyer always compliments me on put-up,and feel he gives me his top for my section of coyotes. So to answer you, yes I think it is worth the extra work. Probably the biggest difference maker is the tumbler, they come out nice and fluffy.
