You've seen us process a lot of bison, but you've never seen us remove the hide. Today, The Bearded Butchers are going to show you exactly how we skin the bison that we raise right here on our own farm in Creston, Ohio.
The bison we skin in this video is a 24 month old bison bull. Seth uses a variety of 6 inch Victorinox knives. He is most comfortable with a Victorinox 6 inch, semi-stiff curved blade knives. The hide is thicker, the hair is thicker, overall, a bison is difficult to skin. Compared to a beef hide, a bison hide is extremely dry. The hide on a bison can be close to a half inch thick in some places! Dealing with the hair is usually the biggest issue but it has to be managed. Keeping the carcass clean is the most important part of skinning an animal.
3:40 If you have longer and shorter blades, use the shortest one on the legs. As you skin, use your thumb to keep pulling the hair back away from the exposed carcass.

As a leather worker including tanning, I'm impressed with how clean and tidy even a difficult hide is. The cattle I've worked with from local butchers are full of holes they use to pull the hide with. I would absolutely love to work with some of these.
Hey man, does it get tough in the business with all the regulations against sourcing the hides? At least that's the impression I get when I see a lot of leather workers working from another country outside of the US.
I love this channel. Guys like you literally do this are tanning. My kid does what he hunts. Eating beaver. Deer in the pressure cooker with a squirrel on top for flavor.
Blacksmithing. Grew up around all this took it for granted.

Your knife skills are amazing. Because of your videos I was able to completely field dress/quarter my moose by myself and butcher it by myself. Keep them coming - they are awesome!
Woohoo! Congratulations on your moose!
@@TheBeardedButchers Thank you . Always an awesome experience

I don’t think people realize how much work in involved in the butchering process. Great video.
Right, and we're happy to show the behind-the-scenes!
@@TheBeardedButchers First 1:30min was pretty fucked up tbh 😬Other than that i think it was very interesting
Even doing a hairy hog is hard work-- that hair gets everywhere. Of course, they're using all the right equipment (cradle, hydraulic hoist, etc.) so it becomes far more efficient. Your best move is to have a few *very* sharp knives available and that makes it a lot easier.
With how things are going in the world; learning skills like this is greatly important. Thank you guys for taking so much time and effort to properly show us how to do this. They outta have schools for this cuz I sign up for it. Keep up the great work and be blessed everyone 🤠🌟
Get hired at a processors and get paid to learn. They pay well.
Thanks for watching, Georgio! We're happy to impart our knowledge to the community 😉
@DeathAngelHRA not gonna lie, I thought you said get hired at a prosecutor at first haha 😅 But yes, you make a great point with your comment. I still think it would be cool if there was a bearded butchers school tho.
@@TheBeardedButchers you're welcome! I can't wait to see what you guys do next. I bet it'll be must see 😁
@@GEORGIOARCADE Indeed! Their videos helped me quite a bit when processing/butchering. I've also learned quite a bit from fellow hunters and helped them process.
I’m not a hunter or a butcher, just a foodie, and i know nothing about this sort of stuff, but that skinning was so satisfying.
You'll never know when you'll need these extra knowledge, right? 😊
I like these types of videos. Long form ones with you cutting and talking. It's really relaxing and satisfying to watch. Thx for your hard work.
Noted ✅
I sincerely never get tired of watching y'all work. What you do is art. Plain and simple
Thank you so much, Jonathan! We hope you got tons of valuable infos from our video. ☺️
There's something magical about watching the processing of an animal like this. Very instructive and something to appreciate. Good stuff.
Thanks for tuning in our magical show, Darth!
This video will be a great tutorial when hunting for elk. Your tips and procedures to keep the carcass clean are invaluable!
Feel free to save our video so you can watch offline when you're out hunting!
I gotta say the sound of the skinning is so satisfying
There's something about watching a master at work.. being a taxidermist I truly appreciate your knife skills..
Thank you for that explanation. I am in Australia and blind. You did an excellent job audio describing it so I could know the steps and how I could do it if I had to. Well done guys. Jim
I have soo many questions
I love this channel, thank y'all for keeping the world educated on bison and how to properly handle this element of them, stay blessed!
Seth you always make it look so easy. Near the end I started trying to imagine how plains Indians did this without a Victorinox!
Right?! Totally mind-blowing how they did it back in the days
@@TheBeardedButchers many many obsidian knives and traded steel, if you've only got time on your hands then you can make some sharp stuff.
You Sir are a knife Artist!!!! Years of practice but it is a pleasure to watch you work!!
Gentlemen, I am in complete awe of the work you do. Thanks for sharing your trade with all of us.
Well done Seth! You and Scott are both fantastic teachers!
We're always glad to help, Charles!
I had the opportunity to harvest a Bison in Alaska this past Thanksgiving. A lot of 1sts for me! The size of the animal, the amount of hair and the thickness of the hide! We put in 9hrs from 1st hide cut to last pack out bag filled. The hide is currently getting tanned.
That is awesome!
Got my beer! I’m ready!!!
Woohoo! Cheers! 🍺
Would love to see the entire process. I mean of this bull, 100% walk through from skinning it to the counter.
If only RUclips would allow!
@@TheBeardedButchers not even saying the killing process, but even a wall through your facility during the process. Wheres the bison go next, quick walk through the shop to where you split it, not sure if the organs have been removed yet, maybe that process, then have it as a playlist step by step from "farm to table".
It's great learning from Intelligent experienced butchers. Scott and Seth are top of the heap. Thanks guys.
Love your content! You guys are awesome. Remember growing up in Russia, it was the way of life for us. I used to come from school and see a life goat or a sheep tight up to the pole and half an hour later there was heart and kidney and liver of the animal searing in the pan.
I took my children to a livestock in New York to get a chickens a lamb. And after that my child became vegetarian….. 🤷🏻♀️
Its always good to see a master of a craft at work making the process look easy.
Thank you guys for making this video you did a really nice job on this i am super impressed! A lot of people probably don’t realize how much that hide is worth.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Seth your the man when it came down to skinning that bison mess and all you were very professional way to teach us.
Great video, you guys have an amazing ability to simply and explain so many things in your videos, big fan from Australia.
Love seeing the whole practice on all things butchering and how you take the effort to teach people that all things butchering is not so cut and dry. What do you do with all the hides from the animals you butcher every week.
The skills you gentlemen have to skin and process these animals is very satisfying to watch.
Excellent video! I love watching these guys work and teach the process. I re-watch a-lot of your older videos a second time because so much information is passed on. Last night I re-watched the company lunch with the free grill picked up on the side of the road! I would love to try your cured hams but, 7 hour drive would make it pretty expensive. Every video you guys produce has been outstanding! Thank you!!
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you guys so much for sharing this video!and may God continue to bless you and your family!
seth....you do an amazing job of making a difficult job look easy!!! kudos. the skinning rack helps tremendously!!!
Totally agree!
Knife game is 💯. Your making that look super easy! Comes from years of getting after it. Good job guys!
Thanks, Aaron! We pride ourselves with the skills we've developed over time!
Great job Seth. Another interesting video. Thanks guys.
Great job again Seth! Love watching how you guys can fly through an animal from on the hood to on the grill! Looks effortless! Thanks again
What should we skin next?
A cat!! There’s more than one way to do those!! 😂😂
Seriously though, I just really enjoy and appreciate the “real life, everyday day” operation content. Thank you for sharing your business and life with us!
This technique could translate to any animal you need to skin. Learning so much. 😀
My hand is cramping just watching you make those cuts. Great video as always!
Awesome, thank you and was not aware of the effort to remove the hide. Looking forward to the next installment. Thank you, take care and God bless.
Stay tuned for the next one, EJ!
Bison is such sweet meat and watching you skin this beast I am at awe. You guys are definitely gifted butchers you are more like artists.
There's something enjoyable about watching a Master at work he makes it look like just taking meat out of a plastic bag. so effortless
We appreciate you taking the time to see our video.
Very clean job of skinning! I learned some from obsidian and flint tools to skin and scrape(Archaeology studies as a kid then at university). Makes one appreciate how the First Nations people procrssed bison. Also, how they hunted them on horseback or over a buffalo jump. I do some leatherwork with tanned deer and moose hides from a 1st Nations company in the Laurentians in Quebec. Can also get bear grease and some other products but only in Canada.
Really enjoy your videos. Have learned a lot.
I really want to see the grinding table side of things. I want to see how they clean the trimmings and make chuck out of it. AND or Sausage
It is amazing how working in the Operating room and what you do are similar. Super cool!
🙏🙏🙏
The way you cut the hide, its like cutting a butter, smooth and very professional, as well as educational. Thanks a lot.
awesome job looks backbreaking loved the videos as always thanks for sharing your work
this video is mesmerizing
also , follow up video on what you do with the hide itself??
I was wondering the same thing!
Well done! This video reminds me of the times I spent with my late father on hog killing days in the late fall or early winter. Thanks for the video!!!
I really appreciate the educational videos you guys post!
We're always happy to share what we know!
Not only great educational but also very well entertaining as well thanks!
I appreciate that!
Excellent knifing skills. Awesome camera work too!
Wow very interested. Thank you Seth for sharing this amazing video. Love all the videos you guys put out. You folks do some amazing work in processing and preparing the meat. That bison hide is very thick. Have a nice week and looking forward to your next utube episode
Aloha from Hawaii
I'll be honest here.
This is NOT a job I would want to do. I do understand the necessity of it, and I salute you guys for it.
You deserve good pay, and I'm more than happy to pay for your service.
God bless you and your friends.
Seth your knifing skills are just amazing, you make it so so easy specially on an animal that big.
I appreciate that!
Seeing the whole breakdown from start to finish was amazing. Never would have imagined I'd be watching a bison get skinned
Good Lord!!! This process is in the same vein as not wanting to see how hot dogs are made. But how impressive was that? And you know he made an extremely difficult process look incredibly easy. Well done!
I was unaware of the thickness of a bison hide. Thanks for the education. Take care.
You bet!
Homie knife skills are on point!! Great work. That's a work out by it self as well.
What a great video! I was locked in from beginning to end. It's always cool to see people who love what they do, because they usually do it very well, just like this.
Wow your channel is increasing in subs fast. You guys awesome. Love being along for the ride
Thanks so much!!
You did a hell of a job keeping that contamination off the meat kudos to you 👏
Great video thank you for sharing. You make that look way easier then I'm sure or is. I look forward to your videos.
These guys are artists with their knives . Great video
Always thought bison and cattle were the same, thanks for making the video!
Nice video. Never thought to use a boning knife for skinning. For the past several years I've used the smallest Bucklite Max II. I love the control and closeness I have with that little 3" blade. I also take a small steel into the field and touch it up often. But then, I've never skinned a bison, so I'm no authority there! Great work and thanks for the video!
You guys are just amazing to watch at work.
The Whole Process is Awesome!!!
Only one time you clean and sanity’s the knife . Amazing.
It's very satisfying watching any animal being skinned where the hide is still whole and without holes. It's also a good thing non of these animals are wasted.
I can't be the only disappointed the video is only 23 minutes long.... Love the long videos....better that movies. I must say thought the best moment is 15:11, when the whole family is inside working. You guys are training those boys up right!!!!
We appreciate your feedback!
Your knife skills are on a completely different level
Awesome, I work in a small butcher place in the north. we work with Geese Ptarmigan Fish Moose Muskox and Beluga. Learning quite a bit from your channel good stuff.
Awesome! Thanks for tuning in!
You make it look so easy! Great work!
He makes this look so easy. Crazy
Pro work. Exceptional skill. Thank you for sharing the video. Your skill and experience really came through on this video. Cheers.
I appreciate that!
You are definitely the Man Seth! Great job on a massive animal, nice n clean. 👍🤗
Thanks, Sandi 👍
I watch stuff like this because you honestly never know when this may come in handy!
Very true 😉
Great video Seth
Would love to know what happens to the hide from the Buffalo. Would love to get one if possible.
Yeah the whole time I kept thinking I want the hide. Of course the biggest hide I’ve ever worked with was a rabbit so this would be a little out of my knowledge zone. Lol.
@@loue6563 I have worked elk and bear hides in the past. Would enjoy the opportunity to work a Buffalo hide at some point.
You guys are the Real Deal
That is an art!!! And you guys have it down to a science!!!!
I'm a old school veteran. IV never seen this before I've cleaned meany deer and cows hogs but never seen this . Great job young man 💯💯💯💯💯
Excellent video BB Team!
Very educational and informative. What I like most about these behind the scenes looks is it always gives me a better understanding for where my money goes every time I purchase quality meat from a butcher. There is a lot of time, effort, and skill involved in getting those cuts of meat to consumers.
Not to mention that there's just something satisfying about watching skillful hands at work.
One question though, do you repurpose the hide (or any other parts of the animal) or is it all just thrown away? I'm not sure I've ever heard you guys discuss that end of things.
Keep up the great work BB Team! Appreciate it! ❤️
Thanks for sharing all your knowledge I can't wait to get my steers for butcher this year
Keep us posted on how you go, Chance Simmons!
im curious what do you do with the hide after you remove it?
prolly sell to leather workers im not sure
Ok I feel like this is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen .unbelievable talent.
It's like he could do it without the Buffalo knowing.
Man this was a great video. Need more of the full process like this!
I know the video was about the skinning and it was very cool and you have great skills but damn those guns kept taking over. More with muscle shirts please. Makes butchering even more entertaining! LOLOLOL
Your skills are amazing!!
fact that this was a living animal is fascinating such a complex mess
Dang, you make it look so easy! Great job!
❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you thank you thank you to the bearded butchers for a full video thank you guys love your content
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing this video boys. Great educational video.
If you guys ever do this in the garage or in the field line the rest of us do, for any wild animal I'd like to see that, gives the rest of us hunters a more feeling of what's true and home feeling lol but thanks for the great content! Keep it up!!!
Clean process like always. You guys are stellar
Beginning was like a Saw movie! Great job guys. Great to see a full-length video again. I’ve learned a lot from you guys. Thanks so much. One question…assume you split the pelvis just like you do the sternum?
Seth is like watching an artist painting a picture. I'm just waiting for you to mention happy little trees! (Bob Ross reference) 😆
I'm learning so much, thanks.
haha is the stranger things music a youtube thing now!? It was entertaining for sure. Props to who came up with the idea!
All thanks to Spencer's genius ideas!
My knife ninja got his hard hat on for the heavy work! Hahahh love You's!
-Solute
Cheers, brother!
Great job. Now I understand why you lay them down. The intro reminded me of a movie I saw once. Classic. Would be interested in seeing some tanning process if you do your own. Thanks again. 🦬
That's a neat idea, thanks!
My dad was raised on a small farm not far from where I currently live. They raised their own meat. My dad was very pragmatic about the process of taking an animal and turning it into food. As a little kid, I "helped" him part out the whole fryers that we would buy. We didn't hunt, so I wasn't exposed to that side of things. I took animal science in high school and raised a lamb and then a steer for my class projects ending in a local youth livestock show and auction. I didn't do very good with my lamb, but the following year I got a reserve champion for his weight class for my steer. He was a Angus-Limousine cross and the biggest steer there.
You have awesome skills at butchering my friend.
Appreciate that!
