Double Butt is a cut taken from the back portion of the hide, specifically the area behind the belly and below the shoulders. It includes both butt sections and typically ranges from 10 to 18 square feet, depending on the animal.
Double butt is prized for its firmness, tight grain, minimal stretch, and clean surface with fewer natural marks.
A Butt refers to just one half of this same area, offering similar qualities but in a smaller cut—suitable for smaller-scale projects.
