I live 10 minutes away from this meat market, I went there last night these guys are extremely nice, took the time to talk with me regarding my smoker, my steaks, and hunting. These guys are as genuine as they come!!
Brian, Thank you!
Where is the Market located?
where you also in Queen
@@TheBeardedButchers uuuuuu
@@TheBeardedButchers please do a video on homemade bologna and corned beef
As a career butcher, I can most definitely say that none of this is as easy as you guys make it look. Removing fat from the loin in one stroke is a work of art.
Also an extremely sharp knife
A sharp knife 🗡️🔪 is the key to getting it like that so many people have dull knives .
@@dmac7403 I’m sure the career butcher would have sharp knives. He’s saying that cut is hard even for skilled guys. I think they all assume you should use sharp knives
@@davek4547 No 💩 Inspector Holmes ,like I said problem most amateurs/home cooks and butchers have is they end up using dull knives! happens way more than you could ever imagine,to expand a little I worked at this restaurant where one of our cooks actually said I don't know why you guys keep your knives so sharp ,he would use his dull one and would knick himself time to time and actually complain that he couldn't use the other knives cause we kept them to Sharp ...in reality him having to force the knife through things and the force from pushing down is what kept getting him cut instead of letting that sharp knife do the work ....
@@dmac7403 did you say Inspector Holmes instead of Sherlock, or inspector gadget
Its a privilege to watch a master plying his trade. Love from Australia 👍
Thanks for watching, Vaughan!
I’ve been watching your videos literally all day. I’ve never butchered a darn thing and don’t know that I ever intend to, but DADGUM I sure do appreciate the butchering process now! Thanks guys!!
You can do it if you try! 😁Happy to hear you appreciate the process, nonetheless. Thanks! 😊
L,ll
I had my grandson watch this and beef video. I think its important for kids to know where their food comes from.
I'm a meat cutter at a large grocery store chain & your videos have really helped me understand where all of my primal cuts come from & how to break them down into other marketable cuts. Really appreciate what you do!
Just found this channel. Mad respect.
My uncle was a butcher and one of the fondest memories I had was watching him process beef at his store. Love how nothing goes to waster too in all your videos.
Sounds like such a lovely memory with your uncle. 😀 Thanks for sharing!
"Waste" is for demiglace! Best of all
As a Butcher Apprentice here in Germany it´s cool to see how you cut different portions of the animal and how good you explain everything. Thanks for the work!
Man, those knives are SHARP!
Stopped by the store the other day. Just planned to buy a few cuts of meat. Ended up getting elk, bison, beef, and pork along with a bunch of seasonings. The store is just like Toys R Us was when I was a kid. Also, met both Seth and Scott. Really nice guys.
Thank you for stopping by!
EVERY SINGLE bearded butcher video makes me SO hungry.
I came on to your videos by chance and I love them. Im from Canada and I told my hubby that you are true artists. Im not sure why I find watching you young men cut all the different cuts of meat so relaxing but I just love it. This 72 year old Grandmother Thanks you😊
I'm a 2 year apprentice as a butcher and theres lots of stuff I don't always get to do as the place I work at is so picky. But it's so cool that I can watch something and can relate some of the stuff I have learnt over the years to this, like I feel apart of something knowing things that not everyone can do. Thanks for the videos definitely helps seeing how others do things
You will ALWAYS have work .. learn how to do venison and moose, too!
@@SundaysChild1966 It's all pretty much the same just in different sizes ;-)
Where are you doing your apprenticeship? I'm a butcher located in Germany and just fascinated how very very different the process is. Different style of knives, we don't use our bandsaw that often, the bone pulling is completly different. It's crazy, I really like this videos
Can you please tell me why this sort of job is appealing?
@@firstnamelastname-ve9gj because you will never be without work if you are good. Like all trades its a dying breed! In the south , butchers are booked out for months
The way you removed the fat to access the loins was so satisfying. Thank you for sharing.
Here for the fourth time folks.. God bless you all.. cant wait to buy my grill and cook all this cuts
This pig was fed 100% awesome. see the white thisk fat and the flowering/grain in the meat. delish!
For anyone watching, I can tell you after now having watched many of the Bearded Butchers videos. These guys are amazing!!! They are the most knowledgeable, clean Technique, Butchers I’ve seen. I am a retired butcher and yes was trained the old fashioned way, I was almost a certified meat counselor so I know what they are showing is 100% legit.
Hallo from Denmark.. Let me say i love your videos, i've been watching them a lot, and i find it truly satisfying. i've been spending around 2 years as a butchers apprentice and it was some of the best years in my life, unfortunately the butcher i worked for went bankrupt a few years ago, and i wasn't able to find a new place to finish my education. but you guys make me miss the profession :)
I thought I would be rolling my eyes 5 minutes in but it was so educational. We've got an uber traditional pig farm in the Caribbean. This gives me some homework. Thanks guys.
Cool stuff! Hope you enjoy, Annalise! 🥩
Very Interesting to see the little differences between your American cuts and the German ones i learned. Gets hyped up for work again.
I have nothing to do with butchery and yet I find these videos amazing. I have no idea why? I love your presentation and it’s great to see a family run business like yours. I hope you make it through this time.
Excellent video. Talk and work at the same time. I really appreciate watching skilled people doing their craft.
The blessed Bearded Butcher Blend Bath... I love the alliteration. And the skill on display.
B is the magic letter
This is not a “job”!!! Y’all make this an art! You are so delicate on how you carve and cut into the meat. You are respecting the animal that gave its life to feed us, you’re just not “cut it into this so I can cook it”. I don’t know how to say it. Love watching you guys and your art. 👍👍👍
I’ve been a butcher for 38 years .. you sir are very skilled it’s great to see this trade is still alive ...come and work for me in the uk lol
When I first came across the butchering a cow video, I thought I might be grossed out. I wasn't though. You guys are terrific at butchering! Your skill and knowledge are inspiring. This is my first year to ever buy a 1/2 cow and a whole pig, and send them to the butcher. It was fascinating to watch the whole process! This makes me appreciate the entire process that the meat goes through before it's available for retail purchase so much more. Your easy manner makes these videos a delight to watch! Thank you
You bought half a cow to send to the butcher?
Best wishes from the UK, stay safe and carry on bearded butcher masters! 🐖 🔪 🧔 🥩
Its always good for business when the customer is considered in all your actions. Put the interest of the customer first. Good customer service you have. Good health and blessings to you sir.
Thanks Arthur, take care!
Most beautifull cutting process ive ever seen
Thank you, watching from Philippines
I don't know how I even found you guys...I was just recommended the wagyu video. But here it is a few days later, and I'm watching all of these videos. You guys are the best.
Me too
I'm not super interested in breaking down animals.... but I couldn't help but watch almost every single video. Watching you guys break down these animals is just super satisfying! Great vids guys!
I love watching because to tell you the truth I’m 68 years old and didn’t know anything about cuts of beef or pork or deer or Lamb and sure not bison but you are great teachers and I thank you so much I have Amish Friends in Ohio not to far
From you I would love to come visit your store front next time I’m near
That was the quickest 45 mins of my life lol
Matthew Mcmahon 3 hours goes by and it feels like 15 mins 😂
Smh, imthought you wee lying
Right. When I clicked and saw the length of it I thought ah I probably wont watch it all. Next thing I know its over!!
Technically 46 mins
Right
My dad was a butcher and watching your videos just takes me back to being a kid again! I'm 66 today and dad has been gone since I was 18 and I regret that he passed on so early in my life so that most, or at least much of what he tried to teach me might of had a better chance of being retained by my adolescent, hormone filled brain! Sigh. Quite a bit of what he taught me that I thought had long ago left my hard drive has been revived though through your videos! Thanks for that. I'm also in the camp that wishes you sold meat mail order but I do have a variety of your rubs that I use on the smoker. With this quarantine I am burning a lot of wood and smoking a lot of meat too! The OG I find really good on beef and Hollywood I like best on pork and chicken. I have a reason to visit Ohio now!
But, how come the oldest doesn't have a beard?
❤
We never had the means to cure our hams. We cut them into steaks, deboned them, and then ran them through a cuber . Season them for the grill or season some flour and fry them. Delish.
That back fat is tasty af just all flavour.
My family are newfies we dice the back fat into cubes, oil fry it with onions & use it as a topping for Salted Cod or put some cubes into a moose stew for some added flavour…good eats.
iv been working as a meat cutter for alittle over a year now, the way you guys work is just really nice to watch, and i hope i can get up to that point someday
I find these videos so interesting I can’t stop watching them.
wow im watching the butcher series and im on the episode with this guy lol
You are amazing, people! Warmest greetings from Montenegro, Balkan peninsula, south-eastern Europe.
Much love, Nikola! Thanks!
Great vid. I saved this one to watch over and learn. Love how y'all trim most fat and membrane of meat. Ive never purchased a rib that already had it removed. Keep up the great work
Really enjoy your knife skills. I hunt and break down my own harvest and love to see you guys skills, so much better than mine ! Always feel like I learnt something to practice. God Bless and Cheers.
Even after cutting meat for so many years what better way to spend a little time watching you guys on a cold rainy day ! Still enjoy watching like a good repeat movie !!
Im so glad someone showed me this channel. I want to live self sustained someday and never knew where to start in learning how to butcher.
You guys should convince Shawn to create a farming channel. Day in day out how to farm. Tools used what ever. I think that would be cool.
I’m serious! How to raise Bison, Cows, sheep, what ever you guys have on the farm. What machinery you use, do you guys also grow your own feed for livestock? Imagine two successful TH-cam channels, with merchandise and everything thing else that comes with it. Well at least I would be EVERY interested.
Would love to see the retail store in a video. You guys are the real deal!
I was a food inspector in the Army. I enjoyed watching the guys in the meat market work. After watching your video, I realized how much I miss it. Thanks for sharing.
The dude can talk..
I was literally thinking about that right before you guys threw that in at the end.
You guys do a great job and motivate me to go butcher my first moose.
Thanks
This is so soothing to watch. Beautifully done.
Man that bandsaw gives me the heebie jeebies 😂😂 I’m holding my fingers even though its just the video lol
Tsoto247 that knife could filet his hand open before he feels it🤔
All I can think of even though it was something totally different is Walk The Line
Oh for sure, and those knives! 😬
why because you dont know how to use one
That's why they're the professionals
I love seeing your commercial stuff I know this video is old but I just love this I've been a butcher for 33 years it's the only thing I've ever done since I was 15 years old, your operations above same size as mine was before I retired and sold my business so I love to see the commercial backpacks and other commercial equipment.
These kind of videos bring me back to my favorite time in the meat business. Thank you so much guys keep up the good work.
I'm a single Dad with three kids at home, we are always on a budget. We don;t get to eat meat every day ... 0ne of my favorites is a big pork roast on sale with bone in and skin on!
I cut it all up and grind it into patties (all the fat and skin too), using our "Kitchen Aid" grinder attachment .. Adding oats and onions etc ... make dozenes of patties ... got to love a nice pork roast! So versitile! :)
Love watching these videos every night for some reason. This is one of those videos that your brain just shuts down and you can really be at peace just watching them cut up our meets for us to buy and eat at our stores. Best content for relaxation in my opinion 😌
It's the diligence, the methodical nature of the workflow
Loved watching as I ate some of your Hamburgers! (Of course flavored with your original Bearded Butchers Seasoning) Will see you again in a week or two for some Bison and more Elk!
Best bandsaw safety video i have seen
Im sure some people in the comments have tried to tell u how to do ur job better than u have learnt for years how to do.. I started watching yesterday from my recommend videos and man im glad i did.. We need butches like u guys here in South Africa
I find doing my own butchering of my game to be quite a satisfying event. Although I will never have the skill level that you fellas display in your videos, I greatly appreciate watching these as I learn a little everytime I watch and have used your seasoning and found them to be quite satisfying and better than any I have found. Thank you !!
You can do it, Steve!
You guys are amazing keep up the great work!!
I have cut meat and did a little butchering so I respect your abilities. I have meat for 40 years and I am very envious if your knife skills. Thought I was pretty good with a knife. Well not so much next to u two.
As a 30 plus year restaurant professional chef. I noticed such a basic thing in your video that so often gets overlooked. Not only the beautiful,look to your meat room.(which tells a guy how much you actually care about what you do) But the fact that you render lard. In the times of today, An often overlooked and unsung hero of comfort foods,and the tastes of home everywhere its used. My hats off to you guys. Clear skies and smooth waters my friends.:)
Amazing Skills & Personalities. You Guy's really have something special over there. I look forward to your next video.
I live up here by Toledo, OH... About 3 hours from you guys. I think I'm going to come out there and get some stuff from you guys. Bring a cooler and load it up.
I friggin' love this channel so much. Y'all doin' the Lord's work.
Trevor, thank you!
It’s turned out great finding the channel late. I’ve a lot of videos to catch up on. Good times, great videos, family, friends.
God bless you and your family!
thanks for sharing this video . exelent
Fantastic video! Very interesting, couldn't stop watching. Wish we could order whole pig or 1/4 beef mail order. Keep up the great work!
Ron Hale same lol. Wish I could mail order a whole pig as well
Ron Hale I literally said that too😂or go into a butcher or meat shop and ask for a whole skinned cow or pig and do this myself
Any butchers can do this for you. If you Google ot there will be about 5 close to you.
stickemuppunk itsthefunlovingconservative I tried they want too much. I’ll go kill one myself
I live three states away in southern Illinois. These guys are so awesome at what they do. They are incredibly talented and just watching these guys do commonsense straightforward, honest approach to things is so refreshing I bought seasoning from these guys and other people seasonings. They were all good, but these guys have the best seasonings ever. And when you are using their products, it makes you feel good to support their efforts Thank you very much. i’m going to buy some knives from them soon even if they cost a little extra just knowing they have a good quality knife and it’s helping these guys out is fair enough for me.
It’s crazy how fast they can do this showing you the years of experience they have. Thanks for the video!
You should do a time tapse video of your whole day. Thanks for the great videos.
Not going to lie my friend, when you said "belly pork" and held that meat up....... good lord I nearly passed out 🤣
The sharpness of that curved knife is mind blowing
Maintenance is key, my friend 😉
I am glad I find this program I totally enjoy watching these videos.
Thanks for watching!
Amazing work love watching and learning 👍👍👍
I haven’t even gotten thru the vid yet, just wanted to say I’m stoked to see a new vid!! More vids!!!!
My dad was a real meat cutter like you guys , I used to go to his shop to watch him work when I could,always amazed me the skill in it . You guys are awesome , brings back a lot of memories with him
You guys are fantastic. I worked for a butcher 30 yrs ago. A great friend that taught me skills that I carry with me today. As I watch how you guys break down and handle your knives it reminds me so much of him. Very smooth yet old school. There is a big difference between a meat cutter and a butcher. I tip my hat to you butchers
This vid is perfect not to long everything explained well💯💯❤️
You guys are awesome and damn fast!! I'm glad to see these videos...teaching others so much....ty...Great info and easy to follow instructions. Gotta say...yall are good looking men too...lol
Feb 2023, just saw this video. Damn good butchers. Great video guys. Thanks!
Thanks for watching, Cecil D!
So I work in the operating room as a surgical tech. I have now watched most of your videos. The surgical way the two of you work is simple awesome. Just like my surgeons.
I don’t even own a knife that goes through butter as easy as theirs goes through meat. 😢
ɮօʊռċɛ օʄʄ weird flex but ok
I know they’re butchers but they do have excellent knife skills
Buy a victorinox knife set. You'll thank yourself that you did for the rest of your life
Jose Martell appreciate the info! 👍
butch6814 It’s like the meat cuts itself.
Absolute Legends.
Thank you for sharing.
cheers
I want to thank you guys whole heartedly. I had a dream to be able to raise my kids to know where food comes from. With a lot of work this summer raising our own pigs we were able to harvest them last week. This is something that I had the idea to do, I talked to a couple friends and they said I was crazy to take on such a task but said they would help. After hours of research and watching your videos countless times the day came. It went awesome. I am grateful that I was able to provide over 1600 lbs of meat for my family and friends. Again thank you for all of your knowledge and helping keep the home processing tradition alive. P.S. My wife got me your seasoning sampler pack and they are all awesome.
Are you guys twins? Brothers at the very least. Awesome videos, I don’t know why I find butchering meat so fascinating! But I always watch the guys at the supermarket cutting ant trimming. Is is so cool! Thanks!!!
Hey Hugh, we're not twins, but brothers and best pals!
Excellent work guys. Love the information and quality of your videos.
Video series suggestion: show us your Green Egg grilling techniques using some/all of these meats. My grilling game needs improved.
All the bearded butchers inpire me thanks guys
I'm a meat cutter at my local store and I always put your videos on for background noise while I work. Can't wait to come buy some product from you guys!
Do you sell a detailed chart, something I can refer to when im elbow deep.?
Love the channel, I'm a new subscriber. With respect, I might recommend setting the camera to f/5.6 or f/8. There is on need for a bokeh effect with these types of videos. Everything should always be in focus (not sure if the camera you were using is set to autofocus, but it was noticeably out of focus throughout the video). Maybe look into a wide angle (16-35mm) lens as well. Thanks again.
🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
I usually use manual focus, tried using autofocus for the first ten mins of this one. Wasn't happy with it so I switched it to manual. I've been debating with the aperture, used to shoot at f5.6 and wanted to give f2.8 a try. If I can nail the focus on f2.8 I'll likely stay with it. But if it gets too distracting I'll definitely close up that aperture a bit.
This is a new lens I've been using so just playing around with it and seeing what works!
Thanks for the comment!
Spence Perkins Love the videos bro. Thanks.
Always sombody let them now, they nowmore , guess you dint see thetitle they are butcher not movie peopple 😂😂
You guys are awesome!!! Love all Ive seen lately!!! Im a rookie pig farmer, Ive done hundreds of deer my self but no pigs, but I want to do it all my self including the curing and smoking so I have watched every pig butchering/processing/curing video I can find and you guys are my favorite! Not to mention Im part of the bearded brother hood. Thank you for the awesome content and keep it up.
Thanks Ernie!
Just started pig farming here on our land in NE Ohio….Looking for a processor and stumbled across this video….Wife says we now have to take a trip Wooster 😂. Great video guys.
I live in Philly may have to make a road trip to OHIO LOVE the channel
Been watching you for a while now and realized I wasn’t subscribed so I would like to apologize
Thanks so much!
I am a vegetarian and I love these videos
You guys have got the best butchery channel on TH-cam! Keep up the good work
Most butchers near me leave that membrane on the ribs. Nice to see you guys take that off for people. Not exactly the easiest thing to take off, especially if you have arthritis or something.
They may as well, its right there for them to do the customer a favor.
My favorite distraction from the world's craziness
Very heart-warming to hear! 😊
It's 2 am and I'm watching this wishing I had some of those pork chops to sear while I can't sleep haha
Man it's so relaxing to watch knowledgeable artisans performing their craft. I've recently just found your channel and I can't stop watching. I can see a trip to your store in the future. Have a blessed day.
