Instead, most people buy either a whole cow or half a cow and then keep the meat stocked up in their chest freezers along with chicken, pork, deer, elk or anything else they want to eat.

You know what's cool about this, is that this is a job that will probably always be around, I could never see butchering being automated. It's a craft.

[@MrFunkhauser]

Same with a lot of jobs in the food service industry. Anything automated will be poor quality.

[@iKillOrDieTryN]

not true look around your area for a true butcher shop. you wont find one because humans are lazy and wont make multiple stops when food shopping. we rather go to a supermarket with everything prepackaged.

[@cinnamonbunwithoutthebun4781]

It would be really hard to make it automate it bc every cow is diffrent

As a retired Master Butcher from the UK it’s interesting to see how our transatlantic cousins butcher a side of beef I notice the use of the saw and removing the bones from the chuck in one piece, we were always taught to bone each one individually but times change and you have so many differing names for cuts

[@sherdogholmes576]

Sounds like your knifes are dull, or you are doing something wrong.

[@thejunks3597]

You just smooth up the edge of it. Normally the knives would be just flat (not like a steak knife that has the bumps). Then the edge of the knife goes 45 degrees to like a circular sharpening tool (it's just like a cylinder) and then go along the blade to make sure any imperfections are smoothed out... do it a few times on both sides and it'll be sharper. You can even sharpen smaller flat knifes with the back of a table spoon. Proper butchers keep their knives sharp constantly, and it creates much less work... but you should really be dressed up in chain mail when working with sharp knives.
