These are Grade A and B antlers, which means that it's nearly in perfect condition and there's still the natural brown coloration and little to no sun damage.

• All antlers are hand sorted by weight.
• Small antlers weigh 100g or less. Small elk antlers are ideal for small to medium (under 30lbs) dogs who are powerful chewers. 
• Small Split Elk Antlers are a great starting piece for customers who are considering buying an antler for their dog - but not ready to spend a lot of money on their first purchase.
• The center of the elk antler is exposed for easy chewing in the middle and more challenging chewing on the outside. 
• Not as durable as a whole antler
• Antlers are extremely dense and hard - we do not recommend them for dogs with underlying dental problems.

Sourced: From the Colorado Rockies, All of antlers are naturally shed.
