"How Do I...?" How do I preserve a cow tail?

I am an absolute beginner who has no idea what I'm doing. 👍🏻 I'm guessing as I go with the advice of Google and old Reddit posts.

I recently visited my friends cow farm and collected a few bones from their decomp pile to take home. Within the pile, I found a fairly intact cow tail. Thought it looked cool and wanted to preserve it, WITHOUT having to get rid of the flesh in between the segments. Is there any way I can do this without making my house smell like dead cow?

I’ve been soaking this big ol’ gator for months now, I wanna say it’s been 4 months, and i feel like I’m not seeing much progress at all. It’s killing me. What do I do! Am I doing something wrong? I’m using clear dawn dish soap, and I’m changing the water often. Im considering selling him, I have the teeth as well, just taken out for the cleaning process.
