No.. of course you won't lose the hide.. just rinse the salt off.. Not a problem at all.. just don't SOAK the hide for any length of time.. you don't want the hair to slip. And I am sure you will have a giant success :)

@BushcraftOnFire What if you've already salted it? Won't you have to soak it? I'm trying to tan my own hide with fur (it's been salted for a few days). Does this mean I'll have to lose the skin? I largely don't know what I'm doing, and I'm sort of trying to figure it out as I go. This is my first attempt, so I just assume it will be a big fat failure.

Yes.. the process is the same for about any mammal. As for keeping the fur.. don't get it overly wet.. and only work on the flesh side.
-
Also, what if I want to keep the fur?

Is the process the same for a coyote hide?
How come the flesh came off so easy? What did you did you do? Was it the lye bath? i just tried fleshing a coyote and it was a pain

This hide was starting to rot.. so it was pretty easy to flesh.. sometimes they are a lot harder.. but the hair always gives me more trouble than the flesh

Cow IS thick... and very hard to work.. This was just a calf...
