This should be your page intro video. It shows what the business is about and why you guys have your passion. I know you have all your amazing breakdown videos and fun projects but the back story is amazing. Plus it is a shorter version of the other video showing the new paper articles and everything

[@TheRealBoomTown]

Exactly my thoughts!

[@MichaelLloyd]

Yep, plus one more. Very well done. I love that the business is family owned and operated. God, family, and food, there's nothing more important than that

[@TheBeardedButchers]

This is solid idea, thank you! 🙏

[@Jraw309]

I actually like the intro video now of just the drone shot of the shop and no music or anything

[@jaystan3849]

As a Doctor in small town Arkansas, I have to wear multiple hats and have little down time. One of the most cathartic times I have had was the first of your videos I watched last year. Never thought watching a side of beef broken down would be that educational and entertaining. Thank you

[@kevinburns671]

The meat shop I work at has been family owned for six (6) generations. To be able to stay in business that long is incredible. I may not be biological family, but to be a part of that history has been phenomenal. These family owned businesses are few and far between. Congrats to you and your family for being and staying a family owned business.

[@antonioyanez5459]

That Handshake sealed it Perfectly. Thanks for the exposé

[@mshafer2006]

And this video is the staple of why I am so addicted to y’all’s videos and products. So great to see a true family small business still running after so many big box stores have consumed much of America. It also helps that I was a meat cutter for several years for a local grocery chain. So, the content still interest me 20 plus years since I was in that line of work.

[@TheBeardedButchers]

Appreciate the warm comment, Michael! We're glad to see you're hooked to our videos; we'll definitely whip up some more!

[@tedheierman1181]

It's really good to see a family run business produce amazing products and continue to thrive as a business!

I’m from Georgia and I made a point to visit your shop while camping in Ohio with my family back in April. Thank you for the tour today. Thank you for sharing your lives and family. I’m trying not be a crazy “fan girl” but I guess I am. You inspire my kids and myself. We loved the meats and the seasonings. Y’all keep representing the American family and American way of life. God bless.

I lived outside of Massillon, OH ( I was 4 in 1984) and it is a real stitch that you’re doing what you’re doing close to there. Keep doing the good you do!

Oh wow! Will do, Ben!

[@ronwatson4902]

Wow you men are just the epitome of how butchering should be done. Your facility is just as immaculate as I imagined it and I thank you so much for what you do and for teaching ordinary people like me the ins and outs of meat butchering, purchasing and cooking.I'm eating better and healthier in my 70s than at any other point in my life. Thank you and God Bless your entire families.

Thank you kindly!

Yes you guys are what makes America great - hard work and reward - stay true to what you are doing!

[@slowtwist]

Thanks for your videos. My father-in-law was a butcher so I learned a few things from him. The cooking videos are great. I am your dad's age so I have a lot of friends that came home from Vietnam. I put penny on some of they're stones once a year. One cousin in our family cemetery has his name on the wall in D.C. Some of those guys had problems adjusting to civilian life. Tell your Dad I am proud of him and I said "Welcome Home".

[@matty6848]

Hi James out of interest why do you a penny on their headstones? Just something I’d like too know as I live in the U.K. And haven’t heard of that tradition.

I grew up as a butcher doing it up until I was about 22.. I'm 36 now and the one dream that's always stuck to me was to open a big butcher shop and specialty meats store... You guys have accomplished what I want to the T! Love this channel.

I grew up on a beef farm in Ontario, Canada but now I live and work in Dubai, UAE. I love watching your videos because they remind me so much of the local butchers we had in our area. Top quality people with top quality meats who I would welcome to my kitchen table for a coffee anytime. Thank you Bearded Butchers for helping bridge the distance between the United Arab Emirates and my hometown in Ontario.

[@jeffharper6259]

Seth and Scott you two are the reason I subscribed to this channel. I have never wished to be a butcher and while I like beef, pork and chicken, I don't eat a lot of meat these days because I am in my 60s and it cost a lot right now. However, I watch your channel avidly because you two and really everyone who appears on camera for this channel is charismatic and (imo) a butcher par-excellence! Please continue (I'm sure it won't adversely affect retail sales lol),

[@robertvaughan7822]

What an interesting story/history of an American family business. The back bone of the greatest economy in the world! You guys and your family are the true definition of entrepreneurs.

[@its_hokori]

5 years ago my brothers and I helped my dad finally buy his first butchering business to own for him to own, and we help out (1 brother full time, 4 brothers part time since we all have our own careers). Seeing a family run shop like yours is so great to see, and it's definitely a level we'd love to get to. Right now we're only doing local ethnic style butchering, around 2 cows, 4-5 lambs, 3-4 goats, and a bunch of chicken/fish a week. We haven't gotten to the point yet where we're handling slaughtering, but all the cuts, seasoning of meats (we're central asian so we got some great kabob and tandoori seasonings), and other store inventories are handled at least decently well. Anyway, I've been rambling on quite a bit, all the best :)

As the owner of my own family’s business that was started by my great grandfather in 1906, I love seeing family owned businesses that focus on quality and craftsmanship. Sadly, most large businesses today focus solely on the bottom line, at the expense of quality and service.
