With all the information and experience you have, you don't have that air of superiority...it allows us newbs to get a little confidence to try. I appreciate that. Thanks.
Thanks for passing along the knowledge. Although I am physically disabled & simply cannot do some of what you do, your suggestions and technique have helped me to improve the things that I can.
Hi, we live in Bulgaria and the local people keep and butcher their own animals. Yesterday we got a front quarter from our neighbour. Thanks to you, we managed to portion it up today, into good meat, brisket, trimmings for mince and some big lumps for roasting. Tomorrow we'll do the processing. Thanks!
Stunning, Scott. The overwhelming majority of us will just buy meat in a supermarket, or possibly at a local butcher, and have no idea of the work involved to convert it from basically a gutted corpse into what we see at the end of this video.
Mate, I LOVE your work!! I've recently retired, but after 30 years as a professional chef I have never found a butcher like yourself. I take my hat off to you!
G'day Scott, I have been able to do my own slaughtering/dressing and butchering since I was a boy (taught by dear ol' Dad). Far from the best, I still consider myself competent enough. But to watch an old pro such as yourself at work is an absolute pleasure and delight. Your not only a good butcher, you are also a good teacher, and I thank you for your video's. I have learnt so much more (including knife sharpening to knot tying). Can't wait 'till the freezer is down and I get my next killer off the farm. I'll be doing it slow time while watching your vids to improve my technique! Thanks for taking the time Scott, your a bloody ripper mate!
It's really quite fascinating, I work as a butcher at morrisons so not really traditional butchery, but these walk throughs seem so simple and really well explained, I must say I really enjoy all your vids :)
I love watching your butchery video's, it reminds me of days spent watching my father work. he loved butchery and yes it was a job but it was also a pleasure for him.
Thank you, Scott. Your years and years of experience are more than apparent. Wonderful videos which I will share with my granddaughter so she understands the effort that goes into our food.
I gotta say, I seriously look forward to your videos and am never disappointed. you are gradually inspiring me to step my game up from a leg of lab to a bigger cut - thank you!
as someone who loved your channel and butchery, I would love to see you do side by sides of classic UK styles cuts next to american cuts and what the different cutting styles would do to the flavor and texture of the cuts. Thanks again for the amazing videos! Totally the hilights of my days off work.
You are a fantastic TH-camr. I don't really even eat that much meat, let alone some of your more imaginative creations. But these vids are always entertaining and I learn a little something every time.
H Scott, ,I just retired after 45 years a butcher. it's a dying art and will be a great loss. I Know live in Vanuatu and was managing five butcheries. We have a great meat Industry here in the South Pacific and I was using about 80 steers and veal a week. we had twenty butchers and used every part of the carcass with a mixture of English and French cuts . As well as boning whole chickens.The trade lives on and now some of my friends here are working in Australia where the trade is nearly gone. keep the videos coming very enjoyable.ta
Fantastic series Scott. I sometimes lost perspective on where the cuts were from in relation to a standing cow and had to follow along while referring to a chart but I enjoyed the hell out of that demonstration. For those who are "offended" by your treatment of some cuts, I respectfully point out that the U.S. Is not the only country in the world and does not set the standard of how others eat.
Tyrone Dunigan im from the us and i get VERY annoyed of how some of my countrymen/women act like the us way is the only way. I love watching cooking and butchering vids from other countries! There is lots to learn from other places if we just put aside the ego and take in the lessons
this is a skill that i dream to master someday, im 16 and my dream job is to be a butcher. it is sad though to see many local butchers struggling. i wont let my mom buy meat from the store anymore it must come from our local butcher. thanx scott for this video very interesting and informative. you are the one that gave me the dream of me someday being a pro butcher like you.
Every single time I watch one of your butchering videos I feel like I need to get me some meat and have a go. Your videos are so great. Now to buying me some more knives and saws.....
Great butching I am a butcher but now live and butcher in Spain great to see how I used to it. The ribs here in Spain we put them on the BBQ it's a great taste .
ahh now I understand where the brisket comes from, I shall be talking to my long suffering local butcher at the weekend to order a point for the smoker. Thanks Scott! (Also from Warwickshire)
Scott, greetings from Texas. My family and friends love your videos. We are interested in a video that shows us how you wrap or otherwise prepare your meats for storage in the freezer, or otherwise. Thank you!
I love watching to see how different country uses there brisket cut. I use the whole brisket to smoke but I think the next time I talk to the butcher I use I'm going to show him this and try it. I bet wrapping it around some chicken and wrapping the whole thing in bacon. Ya
I have learned so much from you .I love working with you and the meat. I have learned about forms of pocket's in the meats and this lines in the meats. Thank you be blessed I !I've watching youO
Scott, at minute 14:00 is the "skirt" you are removing actually the diaphragm? I've read that the diaphragm is the preferred/traditional meat for Mexican fajitas. Also, was cringing as you slice up the short ribs, just recently got into cooking those as a slab and love your beef rib lollipop idea!
scott. thank you for making your videos. there so brilliant and makes me glad I have local butcher. really enjoy the your cooking videos too. keep up the good work.
Scott!! I don't know if you have been receiving my questions demanding for this video. After I saw the rear quarter video for a 100 times, I couldn't help but ask you for this one. I am a great fan and have always been waiting for this video since a looooong time. Thanks for your quality content.
@scott there are these awesome guys over at sous vide everything that need your help explaining what a Picanha cut of meat is. You're the only one qualified to answer it.
another great video scott! you are very skilled with a blade!! any chance of a vid explaining your where your experience has come from, jobs/work etc!?
THANKS SCOT! Seeing this in my sub feed reminded me that the butcher down the road is hiring someone to do the packaging! Being a teenage girl they'll probably think it's weird that I'm interested in their business but I think it'd be a great first job. Wish me luck!!! Edit: the owner, butchers, and sales workers are all female, so save the sexual comments for someone else yeah?
I worked in a little mom and pop butcher shop and we had a teenage girl who wrapped the meat sometimes! Just don't make the butchers listen to crappy music and you should have a good experience.
Tanner Hanson lol will do. I went in and applied and when I went back to drop off the app the girl working the cash register was a bully of mine years ago, just my luck right 🙄
14 Thumbs Down? What the heck? After watching Scott's skills, I sure hope there are 14 comments that provide the reasoning. Regardless, brilliant job Scott! I always learn something from your videos. 😉👍🏻
Mad skills brother, just amazing how good you make those rough cuts look. The neck, well, i am with you, sod that for a game of soldiers, skirt the entire thing out and ditch the bones for soup/stock. Life is to short mate. 🍗🍗🍗🍗
First video of yours I've watched. I've subscribed and look forward to looking up more of your videos. We are wanting to get into butchering our own animals eventually, but for now we are having a mobile butcher come and process of my landlords yearlings on our land to share. I've been having a hard time wrapping my head around just what kind of cuts we'll end up with and this visual was great, plus I liked that you showed/described alternative cuts . Love seeing that there is so little waste. We're also keeping the heads, hooves and other normally unused parts if you have any advice on what to do with them? Its our job to dispose of everything when using a mobile butcher and most people I guess just dig a hole an bury it but that seems so wasteful - I want to learn to use as much of it as I can.
Perhaps I'm an animal, but the muscle membrane, grissel, and fat of beef is absolutely delicious. It's chewy in texture but loaded in flavor. I actually brown chunks of it out in the pot whilst making stew.
Hi Scot i have a ? for you iv seen your vid on deboneing a rabit and tryed it my self... Ya didnt turn out as well as yours did need a bit more practis with a knife a meater rabit wouldnt hurt eather for me. anyway my ? for you and yes i would like to throw it out to you as a chalang is how do you think a rabit stufed with a squirral and that incredable mushroom stuffing woud turn out? of course it would only make sence to use deboneed squiral quarters layerd atop the deboned rabit the idea sounds great in my head but would love to see a pro such as your self pute a spin on the idea. i wont to try it my self but becose of an ingory not gona get much hunting in this year. pls let me know your thoughts on this idea as i said it seems like a good idea but that dont meen it is.
Scott would you ever consider doing live group butchery tutorials, with perhaps cooking after? I'm sure there would be plenty of people who would sign up to it if you did!
With all the information and experience you have, you don't have that air of superiority...it allows us newbs to get a little confidence to try. I appreciate that. Thanks.
Seven years later and I watched it again. Still learned so much.
Thanks for passing along the knowledge. Although I am physically disabled & simply cannot do some of what you do, your suggestions and technique have helped me to improve the things that I can.
Give the people what they want Scott, and entire side of beef master class. That would break the internet!
He is one of the best!!! If not the best!!! He works magic with that little bone knife!!!

Thanks to you, we managed to portion it up today, into good meat, brisket, trimmings for mince and some big lumps for roasting. Tomorrow we'll do the processing. Thanks!
I know nothing about butchering, But I love to cook. And eat. this was mesmerizing. thanks Scott

Mate, I LOVE your work!! I've recently retired, but after 30 years as a professional chef I have never found a butcher like yourself. I take my hat off to you!
An enormous amount of knowledge and skill. Thanks for the video
Pavlovian effect. The sound of the membrane peeling by hand when you started the brisket, that's a noise that gets me salivating.
And the pile starts to grow. Scott, you're candid talk is testimony to your love of this art.
G'day Scott,
I have been able to do my own slaughtering/dressing and butchering since I was a boy (taught by dear ol' Dad). Far from the best, I still consider myself competent enough.

Thank you, Scott. Your years and years of experience are more than apparent. Wonderful videos which I will share with my granddaughter so she understands the effort that goes into our food.
My favorite cut is the blade ( oyster ) steak. ALWAYS DELICIOUS AND TENDER!!!
Thank you Scott. Love the pure butchery videos and I'm glad to see you working with beef primals.
My man you are an artist! Watching you take that glob of clod and turn it into a rich succulent mound of meat is pure skill and genius!
I have 2 weeks to get learned up on cow butchery! You're always my first stop! Gonna give it a go!
I gotta say, I seriously look forward to your videos and am never disappointed. you are gradually inspiring me to step my game up from a leg of lab to a bigger cut - thank you!

Me too! I a impressed with his knowledge of butchering and the names of the retail cuts. I would love a side by side compparison.

Butcher from New Zealand.
Those rolled briskets looked amazing - I would truly enjoy smoking those beauties here in California.
Thanks for your time Scott
Best channel on TH-cam.

Scott, at minute 14:00 is the "skirt" you are removing actually the diaphragm? I've read that the diaphragm is the preferred/traditional meat for Mexican fajitas. Also, was cringing as you slice up the short ribs, just recently got into cooking those as a slab and love your beef rib lollipop idea!
mesmerising! very educational. thank you for yet another great video 😄
Simply outstanding. Thanks Scott. Personally, I prefer the cuts from the beef forequarter; I think the meat is much more flavourful at the front end.
scott. thank you for making your videos. there so brilliant and makes me glad I have local butcher. really enjoy the your cooking videos too. keep up the good work.
You made it look sooo easy! Thanks Scott. May take me Decades to get the hang of that. Nice Video

Thanks for the CountryWoodSmoke shout out mate, really appreciated, that beef looks awesome, love the possibilities
+CountryWoodSmoke my pleasure Dude...
Cheers Marcus...

I Volunteer to Sing for the "Final Primal!" Cheers! Thumbs Up!

can you make more beef video and what the cut are in the us
I love watching these videos
Interesting thought, that chuck tender really makes you think of how often you paid premium for filet and could have gotten chuck in the supermarket 🤔
Great Video Scott!
good film scott, cut ours slightly different but intreasting, good job mate
i learn so much with your channel..
in Mexico we call "suadero" to the brisket, and using that cut, to make "tacos de suadero" its delicius

Brisket is my husbands favorite cut too. He's still not figured out how to smoke a bird though. Heh I'm always smoking those.
we get a peak out little wolfie at 16:54 towards the right.
+Bryan Cole well spotted Bryan...cheers mate.
Do you ever render the fat to make lard? Or stock from the bones?
Literally drooling.
Scott would you ever consider doing live group butchery tutorials, with perhaps cooking after? I'm sure there would be plenty of people who would sign up to it if you did!
Was this shoulder aged? If so, for how long? If not, why not? Just curious as to the different methods. Gracias hermano!
You know how to cut meet! I like you! Love.
Absolutely Love Your Videos
