The Butcher Shop: An Inside Look Processing Beef | Bar 7 Ranch

[@ShainCaldwell]

I'm watching and literally said out loud.. "look at that marbling!"

[@lanecazes]

This really says a lot about the rancher and the way he tends his cattle, thanks Cody.

[@ShainCaldwell]

@lanecazes YES!

[@RobertSpangle]

I can't say enough about Mike and Pam! I will be a customer for life. So are you guys going to do a cooking/grilling video next?

[@Bar7Ranch]

We plan on making some cooking videos or at least incorporating some of that in a portion of some videos!

[@RobertSpangle]

@@Bar7Ranch Did you get the kidney fat?

[@Bar7Ranch]

@ No

[@bambam5130]

Thank you to those people working in there. I worked in the meat department of a local grocery store and that was some of the hardest longest days i put in. I only lasted 2 weeks

[@lanecazes]

I’m sure it was hard work. I’ve hunted white tail deer all my life (68 yrs old) and processed all of them myself. A deer has the same cuts as a calf but heck of a lot smaller and the meat is very lean, no marbling. Processing a deer with knives and hand meat saws takes a lot of time and is hard work. A key element in processing meat is to have it chilled and not frozen.

[@americanoneamerican2479]

your lucky to get a tour with all the rules in usda dept awesome video. been a butcher for over 37years and counting

[@KevinStogner-fd7tl]

Thank You For Your Service Sir.

[@K.Miller5150]

​@KevinStogner-fd7tl hes a butcher not a marine

[@brendantracy7254]

Absolutely love this video. Makes me wish I lived in central Texas so I could buy a side of beef. I really l8ked how the butchers took the time to show and explain what they were doing. Keep up the good work!

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

1 of my daughter's really enjoyed her time in the "Meats Lab" when she was in College at VA Tech. She got to go through the entire process and went to the final retail cuts and packaging.

[@txterbug]

10:43 poor man’s ribeye is the chuck eye 👍🏽

[@anonaymous3950]

Another awesome video! Wished I didn't live so far from Texas. We raised our own for years and I sure do miss the great taste of corn and hay fed cattle. Keep up the good work.

[@taylorritter9461]

Love the video ! I live about 5hrs due east on 84 and will 100% be bringing business there, no local butchers here that offer that level of service ! And mostly can guarantee you that your getting you meat back !

[@bobbyhernandez2415]

New sub here…..love this process . Zephyr is a quaint town. I love the content.

[@bq1428]

So very interesting ‼️ I'm going to have to go back and watch a couple of times because there is so much info. Thank you. I've always wanted to know how it was cut down. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏😉🐾

[@todd1808]

That place looks top-notch!!

[@JustinTurnerman]

Wow beautiful meat. Makes me want to bbq right now. You guys will be eating great for the next while that's for sure. What a treat.

[@adamburnette]

great video Cody... keep'em coming buddy

[@myopinionin15minutesteeple90]

Great video. I have ti say my processor here in Alabama is good but these guys have it down pat.

[@april-jean31]

Wish I lived in this area I would definitely get my beef this guy and have it packaged here, WOW is all I can say, thank you for this video

[@Vivian-fi7bv]

Learned a lot, thanks for the video!

[@Bar7Ranch]

Glad you liked it!

[@erwinwheeler124]

That was awesome and an interesting video about cutting meat keep up the good work I am a subscriber to your Channel😊

[@steveddavis]

We need more butchers, another scarce skill. Very interesting video 👊

[@Bar7Ranch]

For sure Steve!

[@JamesLybarger]

Well that's true! I was a Meat Cutter in packing house and in retail. Retail wages for meat cutters needs to go up!

[@neolahoodrat6571]

definitely a texas sized hat you got there, looks damn good on ya, from up here in eastern utah where they raise nothin but mostly angus and black baldies. cant throw a rock off my porch without hittin a hamburger. modern day cattlemen are this country's heroes

[@jaredspear8140]

Just picked up our beef two nights ago. Filets were amazing!! Curious though on the grading. Didn’t notice anything on our packaging if we got choice or prime? Very cool to see the process. Local Cuts was great to deal with, very accomodating coming 5.5hrs away and greatly appreciated Mike allowing a couple of the ladies to stay an extra few minutes so I could get our whole beef picked up. We will definitely be customers, as long as Cody & Erika have availability for us!

[@LinecookThorJamiethaxton]

Beautiful looking beef keep up the amazing work

[@pamelahousley7543]

Great video - very informative & interesting

[@Bar7Ranch]

Glad you think so!

[@Erinlogan-t4j]

I love me a great porterhouse steak. So delicious 😋🤤

[@reidbaldridge]

Was waiting for a battle between the Predator and Gary Busey at 1:17.

[@Dreg555]

GET OUT OF HERE HARRIGAN, IM GONNA SAVE YOUR ASS THIS IS BETWEEN ME AND HIM

[@bharles4479]

Man I’d love to work for yall lol. I worked for caviness here in Amarillo, and now Tyson.

[@lovemesometrumptrump2008]

I think I would tell them to just bag up the trimming. It would be a lot but you could do a lot make healthy dog food stew beef you get it

[@colby..c]

I literally had to stop the video half way through and go cook a steak looking at all that beautiful meat 🤣🤣

[@Bar7Ranch]

It was hard to watch and not! 😂

[@ditackett]

Skirt steak is also great meat for fajitas and other dishes of chucks. But on this piece of meat you have to cut it WITH the grain. The opposite of cutting into a ribeye.

[@ditackett]

The flank steak has to be cut with the grain also. U can tell really well on that flank the thick lines of grain

[@rp2822]

So i know you lose weight from dehydration the longer the side hangs but is there a noticeable difference from 14days vs 21 days of hang time???

[@billyscott922]

Excellent video….

[@tpack670]

Bothers me that he can`t tell the difference between an arm roast and a boneless chuck roast @11:25.

[@mobeious]

any processor iin florida like this?

[@ChrisGiovannetti]

How do I get a cut sheet from y’all and do you have to buy a whole steer or can you buy half or a quarter? Not sure never done this before

[@jimgilligan396]

Good job 👍

[@J_bar_S_Photography]

Ok, the flat iron steak does come from the arm. And I'm sorry, but pretty much everyone loves any steak with a salad, lol. The reason people like the flat iron so much, which it's my fav steak on the cow, it's the 2nd most tender muscle in the cow. Also, it is ONE of the best steaks by itself, if not the best steak. Now, that's my own opinion, but I've been a butcher for 10 years, so meat is my thing lol

[@jaclynalley809]

A very good video

[@Bar7Ranch]

Thanks for watching!

[@MamaBear4295]

Great video, good information to see what cuts of beef are. Do they allow you to keep the fat to make tallow?

[@Bar7Ranch]

We did not ask but I bet they will!

[@ditackett]

Also the bearded butchers when they have meat that is not really used to make steaks or whatever and fat they use to make hamburger or sausage but they don’t mix the animals. Only one cow meat for a package of hamburger or if they make sausage they only use the same cows meat. They don’t mix the animals in case of any problems that may happen when customer takes their meat home they only have to investigate one animal not several.

[@billyyoung-hl8dk]

C ody that is good looking meat your doing it right

[@sharonm3677]

Absolutely loved the video. I don’t know what’s happened where I live but 3/4 of the cuts we use to get at our grocers aren’t sold anymore. Don’t know where those cuts went or why, they just don’t sell them. Sure is a lot of lousy ground beef though. Watching this, I’m really going to explore the cost of going in with friends/family on a side of beef. Thank you for getting permission for this video and showing us how it’s processed and package. It’s really appreciated. ❤❤

[@dillon2770]

The kids better get Cody a smoker for Christmas!

[@Bar7Ranch]

I’m about to hit order!

[@staceylott6676]

Just ball park figure how much for whole side of your beef processed?

[@londog53511]

That was the old 96er steak!

[@sethwebber806]

Didn't you put bone in rib eye on cut sheet vidja?

[@mckleibrink]

Are you selling sides now? If so, do you have a link for it?

[@Bar7Ranch]

www.bar7ranch.com/s-projects-side-by-side

[@mckleibrink]

@ Thanks. I will get back to you. I really enjoy your videos. In the past we have done 1/2 and whole of our own calves, but since there are just two of us now, it is hard to use a full side. We live outside Waco, so Zephyr is a trek, but your prices are reasonable. I will keep watching and ranching.

[@jameswilliamson4856]

Beef... 🤤

[@Bar7Ranch]

Right?!

[@JamesLybarger]

Your camera needs to be down a little bit Cody! A little to high.

[@multi-transportationsystem11]

@11:00 ish with a WHAT salad 😂 homie

[@mseibert3403]

cody maybe think about letting the owner tell his story he might just not want to talk? thanks for the tour keep ranching

[@Bar7Ranch]

Thanks for the advice. We do have convos with people we spotlight on OUR channel prior to doing so to see what they are comfortable with a gauge their ability to relay what we are trying to get across in a video.

[@C-Wilsons-View]

What happens to the hide?

[@jerrymurkerson3710]

Does he charge by the hanging weight?

[@Bar7Ranch]

Yes

[@joegigetit]

What if you don't want it frozen

[@Bar7Ranch]

I’m sure they can make other arrangements!

[@dannykasap5126]

sick vid

[@willhorting5317]

What is sick about it?

[@dannykasap5126]

send me beef

[@rp2822]

Might aswell get you a caveman steak

[@bryanbarnetttm6574]

You should really get into your own butchering and build a smaller refrigerator that could fit about 10 cows you could do your own and save a bunch of money

[@C-Wilsons-View]

🫡🇺🇸

[@tritonjackmam5.681]

if you want to see americans hack up meat 😂watch this 😂😂

[@willhorting5317]

And why are you here?

[@K.Miller5150]

Not only hack it up, eat it too
