How to Butcher a Cow | ENTIRE BREAKDOWN | by The Bearded Butchers!

beardedbutchers.com
Seth Perkins is going to show you how to butcher beef the right way and describe all the cuts of beef. This is not a beef butcher chart or a beef cut chart, this is the ultimate guide to how to cut beef with just your butcher knife and your butcher saw from your favorite butcher shop, Whitefeather Meats.

Two weeks ago I wanted to be a woodworker. Last week I wanted to be a professional welder. This week, I want to be a butcher. Thanks, KZbin for the career advice

[@TheBeardedButchers]

Hope you finally find what you're passionate about!

[@tamasseres4021]

Just try something out. Actually do some work that's relevant to the field you're interested in. For years I was dreaming about raising cattle and I was planning in my head. This wednesday I actually showed up to a place for a day of volunteer work. It was great! I was watching over goats and sheep, feeding, cleaning, all kinds of stuff. And now I want to try out working in a kitchen, working in a butchershop, helping a hunter out for a day, and whatever I'll think of. Point is: just get some actual real life experience. For the more cliché version: Just do it! Good luck, best wishes!

I have cut meat for 52 years and even though some of the cuts were a little different I believe this to be one of the finest instructional videos I have seen. I have worked mostly retail stores as a manager of a meat department , some slaughter house. did my own farm kill butchering, and now I work for a USDA inspected plant for wholesale. So as I watched this I really enjoyed it. These men KNOW what and how to do it right. THANK YOU

[@TheBeardedButchers]

Thank you!!!

[@DT8888]

I really love beef, but I thought this video would be a case of “you don’t want to see how the sausage is made” but honestly this has been an absolutely fascinating and educational video. Really have a deeper level of appreciation for the profession and the skill that goes into getting a steak on my plate. Well done guys, it’s not often an 1hr+ video on KZbin can be so captivating!

[@ashleymeggan]

When meat production is done right, it isn’t disgusting and filthy. Now, don’t go visit a commercial feed lot. That might impact your love of beef, but the butchering process is really interesting.

[@samrusoff]

The slaughter house handled most of the mess to deliver a good looking carcass to the butcher

I've turned a cow (actually more than a few in the year I worked in an abattoir) from a mooing beastie into the half carcass hanging in the fridge, but never done the butchery process. With my luck with knives though, I'd likely end up with a finger-steak to add to the pile.

[@lindavancleve9363]

I just discovered you guys. This is what i was looking for. I am about to bring 2 heifers to be butchered. We brought a steer to be butchered a few years back. Unfortunately for us, he was less than reputable, and after watching this, i realised we were not given all the good cuts we should have gotten. These new people are very good. We just brought them a couple of pigs last year. What a difference. Thank you for showing people how it is done.

100% profesional. The way he talks and his knowledge about meat. I ‘ve enjoyed every second of this hour+ video. Things we eat everyday and not knowing where it really comes from.

[@NaptownRugger]

Vincent Bitterling Absolutely! That’s one of the main reasons why I got into cooking and ended up working at a seafood market for a while after college. There’s a lot of crossover from meat to seafood with regards to blade work (cutting for yield and making sure the product looks good for the case). There’s a Whole Foods near where I used to live and they had whole animal carcasses hanging in the meat department and people freaked out about it. Amazing how people don’t want their food looking at them...

You're the only one not knowing where it comes from

I agree 100%! I watched a documentary on the journey of walmart beef, from moo to table. Absolutely disgusting, including pink slime in the ground beef, and "meat glue" used to glue scraps of low quality meat together to look like prime cuts. Also, a lot of the beef sold is cloned. I have no idea of how cloned beef fits into the food chain, but you can look it up. God bless our local Butchers!

[@ctdieselnut]

@@barkingbunny4689 it's funny I see your comment now, just finished a cheap steak someone had given me. Tasted ok, but I kept cutting off/spitting out this semi transparent rubbery stuff I initially thought was just grizzle, but I realized was that damn glue. It runs thru the center of the meat where it must of had a split. They glue it to make it look more presentable in the store, apparently that makes it more appealing or trying to make it look like a better cut. I fucking hate it and can't believe the USDA or fda let's this fly. If you put it on the grill and actually swallow that stuff your eating charred glue? Wtf?! Who bribed who to let this happen legally? Like I said, support your local butcher. I seriously doubt any self respecting butcher shop owner uses glue. I hope not at least.
