SIMPLE AT HOME BUTCHER SHOP

Save money and take over the food you put on your families table by setting up an AT HOME BUTCHER SHOP!
In today's video I show you what 3 things every at home butcher shop needs, and share with you the tools I have used for years that help me process my own meat from my homestead!
TOOLS I USE
Outdoor Edge Knives - amzn.to/2htqt8x
Cuda Filet Knife - amzn.to/2zHLZhS
Cut Proof Knife Glove - amzn.to/2AINgFo
LEM .75 HP Grinder - amzn.to/2Qq6F9Y (1 HP is out of stock, this one would do just fine for at home butchers and is cheaper)

Good video 👌 I'm glad you ended with "ya gotta start somewhere". I also appreciate that you try to put links for everything. Super helpful 👍

Great video. We use the forks on our tractor also, sure saves your back! We also use a foodsaver, we chose the titanium gamesaver. We normally do everything including steers ourselves. We have a large 3 door commercial fridge for aging and 4 freezers. My table is a banquet type white plastic with folding legs easily bleached afterwards.

[@PatricesProjects]

Looks like a nice setup. It stayed much cleaner than I expected.

[@soozekuzyk8020]

Excellent video. I'd throw a plastic tarp over the work bench however, but mostly because I'm a wood worker and I don't want crap on my woodworking surface. LOL We used to remove the meat from the bone (game meat, that is), put it in a plastic bag, squeeze out the air, twist the top and tie a knot, then wrap it in butcher paper and toss it in the freezer. It WILL last for years and have no freezer burn, no gamy taste, and cook up as good as it did when you first butchered it. I'm talking YEARS.

Awesome video! An absolute wealth of information 💕.

Oak tree and block and tackle, bring the quarters into the kitchen. Helps a lot to have a helping wife.

[@jacquelynjohnston8849]

My hand always cramps with the hand bone saw in that kit.

[@konniem2800]

Nice set up Austin, I butcher my own deer as well but have a folding plastic table that I use for butchering chickens also. I’ve had a rough deer season this year.....missed 5 deer so far thanks to a new gun and scope that I forgot to lock the threads on. Hoping for better luck the rest of the season. Love your channel!

[@Homesteadyshow]

😩 so frustrating! Hope it improves

[@LovinLifeAtHome]

Great video! One of the most important things in choosing a freezer is that it be MANUAL defrost, NOT frost free - meat (or anything) will not keep well long term in a frost free freezer.

[@saprenna]

My husband and I butchered a buck when we were living in a 36ft 5th wheel in washington, PA. (He was on the road working.) We had to do most of the butchering in the bed of our truck. You're right, you can work it out if you have to. I'm thinking your freezer would be handy not just for the meat, but to chill that milk in the summer time!? Especially now you have 4 heifers! And if you do your research, wood chopping blocks are actually more sanitary than other chopping block materials. Just sayin'. 😊 Keep up the good work!

[@haydensievers5099]

Austin, I really enjoy all your content but I think this is the first time I have ever commented. We are in the planning phase of our new homestead workshop. Plan on butchering all the things in there as well as having a squat rack workout area and a walk-in cooler. Thinking a 40x40 post frame with 12' walls. Would love any and all advice you have to offer to make sure we do this thing right.

[@GavinFish]

That is a terrific dog.

[@joanneganon7157]

Slick set up, aren't you glad you cleaned the garage? JO JO IN VT 💕😊🌲

[@beckywilliams8507]

Great video! I’m curious, did you check the weight before and after processing? Do you do anything with the pelts? #askhomesteady

[@rosiec1974]

Great set up Austin. And everyone having a conuption at the wooden table.. As Long As Its Clean Its Fine. Butcher's use BUTCHER BLOCK to cut on.. it prevents the knives getting damaged..but Austin is using cutting boards anyway.

[@calebbrink8075]

Do you chill your carcasses before butchering them or do you cut them up hot

[@crayhack]

I noticed you aren't in that little bunker you had cleaned out and used previously for butchering. Is there any reason for that?

[@quintenpuckett3399]

Can you adjust the straps on the knife holder

[@juliocolobrado7723]

❤❤❤

[@iwantosavemoney]

You might want a chamber vac machine a little more expensive up front but the bags are only 1 or 2 cents just an idea

[@johnbutler2231]

A major garbage disposal as well near the table.

[@debbie2663]

❤️🙏

[@primitivebowyer8577]

wooden table !!! wooden table to cut the meat !!!! I thought it should be a Stainless Steel to prevent contamination

[@iwantosavemoney]

primitive bowyer stainless is with worst thing to be cutting on it ruins knifes.

[@maryclairekalamafoni9524]

You kept mentioning butchering goats. We're you talking wild or tame goats? 💓💛💚💙💜🌈

[@tylerriles3124]

Just gonna point out that wild goats in the U.S. are not what you think of as goats. we have mountain goats. thats about all thats wild and they are not the eating type. there is an island that was a poorly managed farm land that got out of hand making the "farm goats" now "wild" (San Clemente Islands, off of the coast of southern California) but a quick wikipedia search will tell you how that was solved.

[@kathybonadonna6417]

i thought you have a cave for butchering

[@michellemarie1197]

Butcher block is best for cutting and things like dough stainless steel isn't the best I would know cause I work in a bakery plus stainless steel looks too cold no character with it

[@carlprendergast3827]

Shame this is all talk no action.
