0:41 Ever wonder why we dry age our beef? If you're wondering, we don't hang for more than 21 days. In this case, we lost 17lb from each carcass.
1) The enzymes break down the muscle fiber and the beef is more tender
2) Some of the moisture evaporates and you get a better flavor of beef
3) It's safer. At this temperature for this time, pathogens (bacteria like e coli or salmonella) cannot survive. We've never had a positive pathogen test

I remember my grandpa used to say save money on whatever you want but when it comes to food buy the best you can
Your grandpa is a very wise man, Joe! 😁
Quality food is definitely our family's largest expense.
You are what you eat for sure
Very intelligent man your Grandfather
That doesnt mean that the people who didtribute our food can rack up the prices and call it good, especially when its not organic, or Non GMO
My daughter was allergic to so many things that without grass fed beef and chicken she would have had massive asthma attack's. It was hard to find and a little more expensive but worth every penny. The butcher I found was Amish and he knew my daughter and her allergies. He was amazing in helping my daughter as we introduced food that she wasn't allowed to have slowly. Today she has only medication allergies and can eat anything. Grass fed was a life saver for my daughter
Not to mention that grass fed just tastes better. That's wonderful your daughter doesnt have those struggles anymore. Hats off to your butcher💯
@@MidWestLife2022 I don’t know about that. I’m a chef and know plenty other chefs who also think it’s not as good.
@@smelltheglove2038 I have had both grass fed in WI and grain fed in AZ and I can tell you there is even a difference in the scent when it cooks 💯 My taste buds def prefer grass fed lol
Could she only eat meat? Im confused
I have eaten grass fed beef that was very well marbled and what some call mild; I call tasteless. That $35/pound of locally harvested strip was the last time I will waste my money on anything grass fed. I had the same reaction to grass fed flat iron and a yet another cut.
A professional chef friend wasted a lot of money on a grass fed roast he served to his family at a holiday event.
" The customer is our boss" Bro... that really hits home for me. It's such a humble and progressive attitude to have in any business. These guys get it. 💪🏾💯
Now just explain to people that all beef is grass feed and the difference is in the grain “FINISH”
Or grass “FINISH”
I am a rancher that sells to customers direct and they always ask me if my are are grass feed. I have to explain that all cows are grass feed and the difference is the finish. As always great video and appreciate the knowledge and craftsmanship.
Isn’t certified grass fed free of hormones and antibiotics tho and the rest are not, or is that incorrect ?
@@howliboy1 that’s a different certification. But a lot of GMO free meat has to do with the corn. And usually the issue is with glyphosate
Just curious, why does the finish matter?
The finish is what determines the taste of the fat in beef. Grain finished has a white fat and the grass has a yellowish color to it.
Some people say there is a “gamey” taste to the grass finished beef.
We finish steers both ways but what kills me is when people try to say the cows are grass fed.
All cows are grass feed until they go to a feed lot or the local farmer makes a decision to grain finish the animals. That is all I was getting at.
I cant speak for other countries but in New Zealand the majority of cows graze on grass pastures, year round. In some cases, Feedlots do exist for finishing, but they aren't popular and come under scrutiny from conservationists. Its also cheaper to feed cattle grass in NZ which seems to be the opposite in North America.@@joshuagraves8302
I didn't realize I could watch someone cut beef for nearly 45 minutes and be so fascinated. Awesome job guys!
Me either
I saw this and looked up at how long the video was. And was like damn me too lol.
Same
Me either " interesting
Same here. Totally enjoyed it.
Me: "Forty-five minutes- are you kidding? I'll just watch a couple minutes"
45 minutes later..."That was really interesting."
feel it
That's what I was thinking. I ended up watching every minute and sub'd too
Crap I didn't realize it was 45 minutes. Great stuff.
lol
Agreed
If you're going to have grass-fed beef, talk with your local conservation department, that's what we did, and they helped us at the same time we helped them. We planted native grasses, but we had pastures with cool season native grasses and pastures with warm season grasses. We did mass grazing in pastures sectioned out. It was a great system, a win-win for us and for the wildlife!
How did they help you save time, just saving you research of which plants to use?
Well, it depends on how much space you have as well
But overall, are there also Advantages to the other?
Glad you eat beef
People shouldn't be eating people
The Universe said "Eat dinner. Don't unzip your groceries. "
4x the cost of everything and you make less per cost of living than your first day on the job 22 years ago, welcome to 2024!
That's because 30,000 people come over illegally a month and take your jobs and breed in free housing you pay for, for their current and future kids diapers, food, and housing, and you with with them. If you did that they'd call you a rat
Make it illegal to hire illegals again
Fine employers 10,000 or illegal worker, economy and crisis solved. Grow your politicians coke in a wharehouse yourself
Don't give them free housing or take away food from America's children to feed them, and guess what, they'll go back
They whine about pills for those who don't want to be here, now you can stop starving the ones that want to be here, and if the 45-65 percent of the world that wanted to be gone gets to go, then half the world won't die from natural starvation and they won't have to do a 3rd World War for the same reason as the others (they were all depop.ulation, people were just to scared of uprising if they told anyone, so out of the depression they went home, unzipped their flies, and bred like, crazy) The world could be full of only people that want to be here, the world would double its available wealth and resources to people, sickness and suffering hunger and starvation and cannabilism will be stayed off, there will be a LOT more peace, and the average poor person will have 2 houses, 2 cars, a cow, ice cream on top, clean water and oil to last the planet, or they will probably unleash every fever causing virus at once to prevent all the bad stuff and wipe the whole world out in a week for you
Keep forcing people to be hehe who don't want to be here, it's also why you starve your children to feed prisoners their favorite mashed potatoes
People eat other peoples relatives. Bad people. Just kidding, you have no idea
They're over 1500 bio capable Iabs, so you realy think they're gong to let much more of this go on, it only takes 1
The world needs a brainstorming department if it wants to save itself
It really should be having a party, it owes it to all the Kings and Queens ; )
It's 2024, maybe the world can become a party now? And you could have fun, in a fun place

WW2 was a depop.ulation war
The Polish were killing German villagers and their bodies disappeared before they were invaded. They were dinner
Germans were eating stale bread soup, with a rabbit if they caught one. Otherwise just bread. No one sent food, no one invited or took in the Jews, they ands their children were going hungrier too
The US sent Germany bullets, it was much more compassionate than letting everyone starve to death, everyone dumped off their extra. They had less than half the food and the world's population grew a lot
We've doubled the world's population since WW2, we get more per farm acre, but we're about to have half the crops due to droughts and fires. Don't tell them it's a depop.ulation war again, or they won't unzip their flies and breed like them.
The Mayans and Aztecs were ki.lling and eating each other and then they invaded and killed the Native American Tribes while Christopher Columbus invaded from the North in the Nina , Pinta and Santa Maria; he left his Spaniard General in charge while he went back to the Queen fire more solid, he promised more gold: There was none. His General cut the hands off of Native 5 year old Indians for not finding gold
Not a good world to bring more into
It is so fun to watch a true craftsman doing there job. Even the cutting off the small pieces of fat on some parts without thinking really shows these are people that really know what they are doing and really care.
My dad is mid 50's been butchering his whole life recommended me to watch these guys. That's some high praise from him kudos
Cool of your dad to recommend us! Thank your dad for us for the kind words. 😀
Grandma's family had a butcher's shop. So many different sausages! Sadly, they closed when no-one wanted to take over.
Yeah Way ! The principals for all true belief systems ARE essentially the same Good Orderly Directions
a.k.a. GOD
Wow --- far out !
And down to earth .
Now everything makes more perfect sense !
Thanks for thee head's-up yawl !
however
Talk about corruption !
Don't just sit there neutralized by blissful ignorance !
"Beware of the genetic-molesting 'leaven' (artificial sugar-coated lie bull HOOKS) of the so-called 'authorities' and scribes trying to sell us all out to the highest bidders."
Actually jesus flipped out on the diabolical barbaric practice of selling innocent critters to be kosher slaughtered on the altar in the temple --- as a bogus way for schmuck human-cattle to have their 'sins' forgiven. the original sin was being schmuck enough to eat the forbidden fruit eggs and critters like snakes do .
(suffering causes suffering)
Eating innocent critters is very bad karma --- that comes back to bite us . thank goodness jesus stuck his own neck out to remind us that forgiveness depends on how we treat even the least of our bretheren ...
(How would you like it if nobody cared enough to help you get out of the death-trap pits and snares ?)
Man wouldn't it be great if someone else would die so that nobody would ever be held accountable for any sins anymore ? --- sure looks like spreading the other cheek further for the pedophile preistclass to rape everything more easily is backfiring big time ... Too bad --- Easy believers make it way too easy for the great deceivers...
The last thing jesus wants to see when he returns with a serious vengence is a another death worshipping meat-cult double-cross...
B-Less schmuckered yawl !
we best not let anyone try to scare the friggin Be-jesus outta any of us !
even Greater works than these kinda ones like our prince of peace performs super naturally through us
faithfull free radical followers ---
shall become the new normal ...
Become the type of light worker you want to see in this world ...
Like the good shepherd likes to say : "my joke is sweet --- and my burden is LIGHT !"
for every step in the right direction we take --- the sun of god takes ten more for us ...
get ready for G--ZEUS
to return outta the clouds with a batta-Lion of starships (and sun dragons) armed to the teeth --- while the vast army of murdalized martyrs and resurrected saints go marching in with a seriously hilarious vengeance ! --- Leaving No ( peace, happiness, and freedom loving ) stoner left unturned into a hero of sorts ...
Thank goodness for thee Divine down to earth
Principals of :
Peace --- kindness
Purity --- integrity
Ballance --- mindfullness
Patience --- trust
Strength --- will power
Generosity --- forgiveness
Encouragement --- joy
Wonder --- insight
and Enlightenment --- upliftment ...
Anyhow ---
Less B-Less-ing
and More Best-owing
to all yawl !
in all ways remember
to stay thankfull
and Ask
thee GREAT spirit
And THEE MOST HIGH
intelligent designer located in the heart
of all creation
for guidance on how we can redeem ourselves most effectively --- rather than merely sit around aimlessly waiting for great pumpkin pie lies in the sky to save us ...
So take heed ---
and hold fast
because
the cosmic-director
don't take too kindly
to procrastinating
i - do - laters
who delay
helping themselves
realize how to
instruct those that oppose themselves from being
more brilliantly redeemed and grateful than ever before ...
Muchos Grassyass !
And Goddesspeed !
Sure Looks to me
Like Empirical evidence of the thee Most High --- blasting out brilliant freedom rock riffs on rainbow coloured guitar strings !
(Guess we'll just have to wait until it dawns on ALL of us !)
Lighten up !
And stay positive
yet vigilant...
And again yawl --- thanks for helping to keep the ideal --- real !
Check out this other stellar alternative cosmic solar weather report :
this awesome looking nasa footage of what appears to be a giant black space serpent getting blasted by the sun :
ruclips.net/video/t0jgkoA3Ywc/видео.html
interesting --- how NASA stands for never a solid answer . the spooks are actively blocking huge chunks of their own data and it's making all the independent space watchers wonder what the heck they are trying so hard to hide ...
Be aware of the new age pedophile preistclass deceptacon hex-nut Luciferian transhumanist one world religion however.
5D --- or 5G ?
if you think the wages for schmucking the whole world into going to war against everything pure and natural and good are astronomically enormous --- yer darn friggin right !
Watch out for them multidimensional illegal-alien shapeshifter demons trying to use celebutard mouthpieces like meat-puppets to sell us all out on the fantasy 5D
Deceptacon hex-nut deception --- of trading in our original divine organic living body soul vehicles --- for Crystalline bodies sure sounds more like more transhumanist hogwash motherschmuckery
(to this here proud grateful indigenous earthling)
Anyhow --- We best not let ANYBODY try to scare or finagle the friggin Be-jesus outta any of US !
So yeah --- ( i know )
good luck with THAT !
Thee Light of god is written in our hearts . . .
so Hold FAST
and Goddesspeed yawl !
My mom was a butcher also. I was 5. I grew up in the butcher shop in the 50s untill the 70s
How good is it to watch a tradesman, a master at his craft.
We appreciate that, Brian!
It’s good to see that some folks are keeping a true art form alive 👍 I worked in a retail store for 25 years and I enjoy seeing you guys work. Hard to find anyplace that still deals with hanging beef. I lost interest in my livelihood with the introduction of boxed beef
?
They produce a beautiful product, he would get fired in a supermarket. It's all about keeping cost down not quantity.
This video was helpful and BA
Thank you for helping keep the reality of our vital beef source alive. I am touched by your ethical and intelligent natures.
Thank you for this excellent lesson! I am 66 yrs old and this was all new info to me. Simply delicious educational experience!
Glad it was helpful!
@@TheBeardedButchersMy words exactly..Couldn't have said it better as though read my mind.
Have just started the carnival diet I'm finding it much cheaper than I would have thought eating meat spent Aus, $200 on mix Supermarket packets cut mixture from pork & Butcher pk, Rissole. & 18 pack lamb chops. Chicken schnitzels + beautiful beef steaks..Have been mist lean" about eating meat the last few years. Now i deeply think is wrong.. meat is best" just asked the ladies.
I agree so much knowledge here. Iam very thankful for this honest educational videos.
These guys are not just butchers, they're artists. Thoroughlly enjoyable to watch.
Most people who are great at what they do are.
Not just butchers and artists, they're strong mofos...never realized you need to have some strengths and stamina to be a good butcher.
Like watching This Old House.
@@jerryarcher6916 it SO was. Thanks for giving me the complete expression of why I enjoyed it so much.
These guys have put in the time and gained the right knowledge of butchering, well done guys.
Thank you very much, Ron!
What knowledge? They're not real carnivores or omnivores. This is all made up. Real carnivores and omnivores are not worried about any of this.
@@TheBeardedButchers I agree but have one question, why does the mortar between the bricks in the air chiller look so dirty?
@@Protopious that's Wilde marinade!
A lot of great tips. I wouldn’t expect any less from someone so experienced.
I really appreciate the side by side comparison. I would really love it if you guys could do a video with a side by side comparison of grass vs grain of the same breed of cow.
Excellent job as always.
Hands down the best explanation I've seen from curing to cooking and comparisons. Thank you for your time.
This channel and content is amongst the best I’ve ever seen. Tradesmen and artists providing the world with knowledge of their craft as butchers. World needs more of these type of people. They are the American Dream. 🇺🇸
This is legendary. Thank you!
@@TheBeardedButchers No…thank you!
The beef before it goes to lot is sold by the pound. Then it goes to the feed lot. Again sold to the packer by the pound. The it get placed in the package for you to buy, by the pound.
This is done as quickly as possible. Can't have cash lolly gaggin around. Verstaen?
Even if the beef is not aged, grass fed still does taste better. I remember dad picking out a steer and then butchering it. Then splitting the carcass with my uncle.
It is now illegal in Michigan for a farmer to do that without USDA and MI inspectors getting paid to supervise. I guess it was done to protect someone like my dad.
Lets see he grew up on a farm. Knew about cattle and farm animal diseases. I mean what else would you do with 640 acres in the country?
If you were my mom you would sell it, when the old man died.
When I was 14, I had the job of killing , plucking and cleaning 100 chickens every year in August. It only took about 8 hours. I did not have a place to do that when I turned 18.
They got packed, wrapped and put in the freezer before the sun went down.
Sick chickens got shot and buried, quickly. Yep they do peck on each other when they get sick.
@@warrenpuckett6134 What are you rambling about?
“Tradesmen” and “artists?” Lol. Wow… such inaccurate ways to describe murdering psychopaths
I have no idea how this ended up in my recommended videos, but it was so fascinating to watch.
Thank you for this most excellent video oh Great Bearded One! This really is Top Notch, Grade A, Organic, Grass Fed! 😋 For me, it's all about avoiding the GMO grains that are stuffed into our food supply, not to mention the grains are sprayed with glyphosate. I had to give up all grains while I'm healing my thyroid from Hashimotos (Yes, I turned Japanese) and as I don't eat GMO grains, I also don't want to eat anything that ate GMO grains. Farmers and Ranchers are not paid by nutritional content. They're paid by the bushel or by the pound. My DC (a real doctor) always repeats the quote, "Nutritional excellence has never been easy."
Thank you...very helpful info...so I'm guessing you can't eat chicken?
I only just learnt that farmers do not buy GMO grains as they use RoundUp (glyphosate plus other chemicals) to “dry” (kill the plant) the grains before harvest.
That fact shocked me to the bone (literally).
So even though I love the cost, higher fat content of grain fed, reducing (eliminating) chemicals is number one in importance for me. This was a top article by the BBs as I never knew the size (in particular) and colour was different.
@@martinlang9615 Thanks! I also just recently learned that GMO grains are sprayed with glyphosate after harvest to assist in drying and kill bacteria; which is Exactly what it does to your gut biome as well - kill the bacteria. "All disease begins in the gut " Hipocrates
@@martinlang9615Exactly why I choose grass fed over grain/conventional beef.
I started letting my deer sit in the fridge in quarters for 5 days this Year. My wife demanded her refrigerator back or it would have sat for 7 days. The difference, even at 5 days is incredible. Much more tenderness and amazing flavor to the meat!
Didn’t they get cold?
I watched Dr Antony Chaffee use the whole fridge to put his meat in...
As he says to leave it.
I think he leaves his two weeks.
I am learning so much recently about beef.
Just buy a second fridge for the garage, a cheap one. Plug it in when you need it, hunt more often, happy days
Wish they sold venison in grocery stores. Where I live we don't have any farmers markets that sell meat 😢
My dad was a retail butcher for about 35 years. Watching this guy break down, trim and cut steaks reminded me so much of what my dad used to do day after day in the meat market for A & P . I use to help him bone out a lot of rib sections for hamburger meat .
It's just too bad that most grocers mix all different animals from all different farms from all over the world. They also dye their beef to make it look fresher and more appealing and the cardinal sin they cut their steaks very thin. When buying steaks,Bacon,pork chops or Loins and whole large Hams,whole chickens or Turkeys I will always go to the Butcher over the Grocer. Plus after watching Morgan Spurlocks last documentary about raising chickens to stock a Fast food chicken restaurant I will gladly never eat commercial raised chicken again. I'm a meat eater but it is absolutely disgusting how horribly animals are treated in commercial farming operations. How they grab chick's,Ducklings and piglets by their neck,stab them with large antibiotic needles and throw them on the ground,kick them around and are very abusive to them to the point they step on and kill the babies. I have even seen countless videos of young psychopaths that work for commercial farms punch calves,lambs and baby goats in the face hard AS FUCK and laugh about it!😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬 I understand they are specifically raised to be food, but they can still be treated humanly while they're alive. Also the chickens pumped full of growth hormones to the point their legs break because the chickens put on a ton of height and weight and their legs can't build enough inner density to hold them, so they end up not being able to walk and tons die of heart attacks before it's time to harvest them
@@devingeary455 that was hard to read 😪 but thanks.
@@devingeary455 you don’t know squat, just because you see some examples doesn’t represent all commercial farms. They never go ahead and show the good things. Like giving people jobs and putting food on their tables. Instead we have the radical left acting like they know about the industry. I worked in it for many years and never dyed beef lol
@@moderndaypirate8931 oh... you didn't die the beef. What a saint. At least, you had a job. But so do sex traffickers. They don't dye the beef either.
Just one case makes a normal person sick.
There is a narrative in this video. It is that grass fed is superior. They try to stay non bias respectively, but it is obvious; they prefer grass fed.
In Mongolia, I tried lamb meat that was raised in the Gobi desert. Its meat had a very different flower smell and the meat was so incredible. They told me such meat goes to market only at the end of the summer as flowers fall. (Grass doesn't grow in the desert much, so lamb eats mostly flower and it is the most expensive meat there and 100% naturally raised without any fence).
Oh wow, that sounds amazing. You'll know it's especially good if it's only available in a certain period of time. o🤤
Thanks guys! I learned a lot! You make butchering look so easy! My uncles both had dairy farms and so I was familiar with the milking process and the taste of fresh milk. One of the uncles began to raise Charolais beef and the steaks were amazing but could never find it in the grocery stores. Glad we have choices now! Yes, more expensive but well worth it!
Nice that you highlighted your grass fed as being raised on the pasture. For those novice customers who want to maybe buy a cow to process. It's not enough anymore to ask "is it grass fed?" You've got to ask whether its "grass fed and pasture raised?" Ranchers can and do feed grass in their feed lots, with all the same crowd diseases, and in the same way as those big commercial feed lots feeding grain...
One of the most important things I learned from this video is... I need better knives. 🔪
I too
agreed
Those are, I think, Victorinox knives. They're only about $45. I think (God knows I am no expert) they are just really diligent about touching them up with a steel. They sure make my hacking around look amateurish.
@@ianbutler1983 yes, he mentioned using a 9 inch Victorinox
No, you probably don't. Try sharpening them correctly first. I used bad sharpeners in the beginning, then I switched to a simple 10 bucks IKEA grinding rod and sharpened my cheap 5 buck knives the way my grandma did - works like a charm once you got the hang of it. They don't keep their edge like good knifes would, but its only a couple of seconds to grab the grinding rod, sharpen the blade and you're good to go.
Best 45 minutes spent on the web learning meat cut and difference between grain an grass. Well done!
@@frankm5019 they mentioned something about the grass fed beef being finished off with grain available while still being fed or having grass available also. It is interesting how regulations allow certain labels and claims to be made, everything is up to interpretation.
@@frankm5019 they said grass fed is third party verified. I believe American grass fed association. They don’t allow any grain at all. They mention that there are different ways of feeding such as having grain available while animal is also on grass. Then feeding more grain.
@@lfrias78 that was the grain fed beef. Grass never gets grain.
@hightyboo I believe they left it up as a matter of preference. Taste is something highly subjective. The grain fed they said was mild beef flavor. The grass fed had a stronger beef flavor, hints of a grassy/gamey flavor. Then there is the health or perceived health benefits related to less fat and the make up of the existing fat of grass fed over grain fed that might sway someone’s purchase regardless of taste. Oatmeal with a cup of brown sugar and lump of butter tastes infinitely better than plain oatmeal but the plain is healthier.
@@justinallmond3855 its not the reduced fat that makes gras fed healthier, its the increased nutrients profile of the beef itself. Grass fed/finished beef is much higher in many vitamins and minerals and has less contamination. Sat fat from animal products is good for us, so thats not a reason why grass fed is better than grain fed
I just learned more about beef than I had learned in my 75 years on this earth, 'Thanks very much!!!
Hope you enjoy, Rich!
Thanks so much for taking the time to make these videos. I appreciate the time and effort it takes to do it.
Found another moment of Zen: watching a burly dude slice up a beef carcass. Seriously. I was mesmerized and it was so peaceful.
like watching a mistro :-)
hilarious
Gay
I found the hacksaw of the rib section quite exquisite
That knife was freaking sharp... sliced right through it like butter...
This was so interesting and brought back so many great memories of my dad. He was a butcher in the 70 and 80's. Seeing you guys handle the meat and the knives , your even built like my dad was. When I was small enough he would throw me over his shoulder like a side of beef and pretend he was cutting me up. When he passed I was able to snag his mesh metal apron and knife belt. I have it proudly displayed! Hey, my husband said he saw you might be on the History channel. You deserve some recognition. All the best to you two bearded butchers!
Thank you for sharing it with us, Elizabeth! Hearing your father's story is very wonderful!
I really enjoyed watching this! I knew that I would learn something new from this episode. Really appreciate it guys 💕
Keep it up, this is fantastic ❤
Great comparison, side by side is a great visual example, these guys are great for explaining all that we all want to know, have nothing but the utmost respect for doing what they do for us
Never realized watching someone repetitively cutting steaks was so satisfying
Thank you so much! What kind of meat would you like us to cut in the next video? 😁
@@TheBeardedButchers could you compare wild hogs and farm-raised in this style? And whether market demand can help control their population.
Agreed
@H K I mean...there are fields full of them all over the place. Talk to a farmer...maybe they'll let you "hunt" a cow. It won't be very exciting though. 😆😆
@@michaeloxlong "2 minutes into my exotic hunt, I finally have the elusive beast in my sights. I dare not miss this shot."
I grew up in New Zealand. All beef/lamb is grass reared/fed. I milked cows after leaving school. Years later when I moved to the UK someone said grass fed dairy cows was known as the New Zealand system.
I still struggle to get my head around cattle cooped up in pens and fed grain. Let them roam free and eat grass.
We do actually let them do that in the States too... They roam and eat grass with 10,000+ acres... and we also feed them out with alfalfa, hay at times. When they're sold to the market, then the buyers typically fatten them up with grains, etc. That's how our ranch does it. Others have a bit different system.
"Grain Fed" beef is only fed grain and kept in small pens for the last couple weeks to bulk them up. They literally live the same exact lives on open pasture as grass fed except for the last few weeks. Its like having a stay at home vacation where you can just sit, around, be lazy and eat without worrying about wild life coming to rip your throat out. (Well, at least as far as the cows know lol)
@@e.t.2914 So...sort of like staying at home during lockdowns? And they thought there was an obesity problem before covid came around.
UK ain't a big enough country union to be letting cows roam around.
@@doubledee8677 haha I thought the same
I appreciate how enthusiastic you guys are about your craft! I hope to get some beef from you all on the west coast. Thanks guys.
Well done guys, I now know a lot more than I did for sure. Great to see a real professional at work. I have always been told the more marbling the more flavor.
You can ALWAYS tell when people are MASTERS of their craft, the make the complicated look so easy.
Never imagined the day I subscribe to a butcher's channel.
I just did and definitely not going to have regrets! Love this : ))
😂😂😂👏🏿👏🏿 I know right. I just did too. 👍🏿
👍 Yup .... Amazing .
Ctfu me either but here we are.
Haha, same! They are awesome!
Very interesting to see the difference between these two animals, thanks for educating us all! Greatly enjoyable to watch and Your light banter and relaxed commentary is always a joy in Your videos! 😀
The best explanation and display of Grass fed vs Grain fed beef and the whole aging & processing ever. 👏👏👏👏 .Keep up the video's!
The Brasilian churrascaria we frequent barbecues pecanha, and we never knew its backstory. Great to see the cut demonstrated. Also the lack of dry aging explains a lot about the decline in commercial beef quality and value. Thank you.
Good luck!
@@TheBeardedButchers Hey like your vids anyway i have a question do they still pump cattle up with trenbolone you might know it as another name but it's a powerful anabolic steroid thanks.
@@TheBeardedButchers Nevermind you answered the question in the video no steroid growth hormone or anything like that i doubt that's true in all cases and i always thought they use a quick acting ester of trenbolone so its out of the system by the time its butchered i think that's better bigger beef and it won't be consumed by people.
This is one of those videos that I put on in the background while I do other things. (In other words, something I expected to not be too interesting/distracting.) Bad idea. This video was absolutely fascinating. You are one of the best presenters that I've seen in any type of documentary program. Great camera work. That guy with the knife is an artist!
Wow, this is so nice to read, Shyam! We'll make more videos!
I put this video on to listen to while I drive home... sat in my driveway for 30minutes watching.
Hey 👋Sorry for the random approach you seem to be an ambitious individual which gives me the idea to know if you’re open minded to look into a new way of generating an income,it may or may not be a fit for you, but if I send you some info would you check it out?
@@lauraonline3251 Not in the market. Thanks anyway.
Wow! Just discovered your channel and found it very informative when I shop for beef! Thank you
Guys! Thank you from beginning to end I saw endless insight. I'm almost zero on actual butchering. Super cool to see the breakdown. Obvious illustration on Grass vs Grain and, at end, enumeration of taste variations. I learned a lot about distinct cuts of beef as well as potential variances in grass and grain fed. I'm hungry! Thawing my t-bone because of you. I'll shop your site.
He mentioned Wooster Ohio and my jaw dropped. Turns out I only live 30 minutes away from their shop. How exciting.
What a 'cow'-incidence. Drop by our store the soonest! 😀
@@TheBeardedButchers yeah! I HAVE to. Get me some picahnas 😂
Lucky!
Yeah buddy, I drive from Toledo to patronize their retail shop. Best butchers in Ohio! Ohio farms are some of the best in the world, since their locally sourced...uh...YEA. I just wish they had some type of distribution agreement with a local shop so I didn't have to drive, although I don't mind it because it's worth it.
It would be about a 6 hour round trip for me. I just may make that into a day trip sometime next spring, or if I get a chance before the snow starts flying here in Michigan. 😁
Well thank you for showing the difference between the two feeding so I know why they look different at the store. I have butchered my own Elk for 45 years and you guys are the first butchers that trim the meat like I do, excellent trim. I wish I lived near you as I would buy all my meat from you guys. God Bless you and your operation!
You are so welcome!
That was a fantastic video. The comparison was so objective. Thank you. My Daddy was a butcher long ago and he always aged the beef. I swung through the cooler on those hooks. You guys are great!!!!
"The customer is our boss." If you're wishing to succeed, remember this statement.
Agreed!
Have you seen the Walmart customers lately? Trust me, most only know what they saw on Facebook. Most don’t even know what they don’t know and certainly don’t know what they want. That slogan about the customer always being right expired in 1982.
You're fired
I thought the exact same thing. Well done.
It no longer works now when at least 30 percent of the people are insane
Felt like I just watched a masterclass. Thank you guys!
Thanks for attending our masterclass, Mark!
Love these videos, this channel, and how much care you guys seem to have for your profession and product. Just awesome.
Really informative. Thank you. But to me grass-fed beef tastes exactly like liver.
You guys are awesome. Seriously. This is dedication to a craft and as more and more people are learning, a very important one.
Thank you, we appreciate that!
I’ve seen sourdough artisans, mushroom farmers and now this 😊 Life is great and I’ve got so much respect for crafts folk.
Wow, thank you!
....and god bless those sourdough artisans!
Watching these guys perform their craft is... well it’s art. There is no other way to say it. It’s so cool to watch.
Hi, I'm a beef farmer from Quebec. Really liked the way you compared the 2 types of animal. You really know your meat
Y’all are just perfection all around the board keep up the good work
Watching you carve that carcass was like observing someone create a painting. The handling of that silver skin on the tenderloin was flawless, and here I am trying to pull it off with a paper towel for grip.
How was that 45 minutes? I watched this whole video. Great stuff. I've bought half a steer that was grass fed recently. My entire family loves it. Never complain about the taste or texture. Will say it is incredibly lean but doesnt lack flavor and doesnt change the texture either. You guys are awesome. Thanks for the video.
It means a lot that you shared it with us, so many thanks! Also, we appreciate your continued support of our channel.
do you find you need to cook lower and slower?
helping the Watch time the algorithm appreciates you lol
Any meat we can purchase in stores is just not the same! I feel like I am in starvation mode, even right after dinner!
Do you cook it ? Or eat it raw
Thanks so much for making this video, and explaining the difference between the meats! Really appreciate it.
Thanks for watching, we are glad it was helpful!
You guys are great. Presenting subjects that some people my find contentious, in a professional way, that shows deep knowledge, animal husbandry methods, customer and business acumen, and all round great skills. Im a fan of the bearded butchers
My wife and I farm here in south central Missouri on a farm that's been in our family since 1865. We raise cattle, hogs, and chickens. We sell directly to the customer and use about a half dozen local meat processors for our business. While all of them do a good job with our animals I would most DEFINITELY bring our business to your place if it were possible. Your video is outstanding (count us in a new subscribers!).
About a dozen years ago I bought into the grass-fed/grass-finished school, giving much of the credit to Joel Salatin's enthusiastic teachings. I thought I was doing the best for my farm, my animals, and our customers. But as the years have gone by I have changed some of my thinking. I still believe raising animals on pasture, not using chemicals on my fields, and giving them as stress-free a life as possible makes a superior product. But it's been my experience dealing with the public that most prefer their beef to be finished with grain for the flavor/tenderness.
Your video here points out some of the salient differences and I will now start using it as a reference point for our customers that want to see/know more about what they're eating and feeding their families.
Excellent job and thank you!

I was just going to ask about that in the comments - but you've brought it up now. I was raised on a farm and all the food animals around were pasture raised and grain finished. My mom (the cook) always said that a grain finish gave the meat the marbled fat it needed for a good flavour.
I've tried 100% grass fed, and to me it is a bit too gamy - you can taste the green, so I feel as if it should be stewed with onions. And for the price you pay for grass-fed I'm not going to do that.
I need to listen to the rest of the video to see if they say anything about that.
But their meat looks good, eh?
It take more skill to cook such meat and make it tender. Wagyu has it's own issues too but pastured Wagyu is really interesting to cook with since it has the fat without needing to grain feed it. The marbling is different then typical as well. It is really hard to find though. I do have one source for it.
Sounds nice. I gotta get out of California. It's a hellhole. Even tho we have great farms too.
Have you heard of Regenerative Farming? Dr. Zach Bush is a smart guy and he talks about it - seems like a good way to go.
My goodness. Just looking at the difference in the video, I can “see” how much tougher & compact the grass fed is. I can certainly say I’d probably prefer the texture / tenderness / etc of the grain fed.
The public likes to say noble things. But when time to put hands in the fire, you see what people actually “do”.
I know nothing about butchering or how meat is cut but for some odd reason, I found myself watching the entire video. I think it was the knife work that had me hypnotized 😂😂👌🏽👌🏽
Jedi mind-trick, actually. 👀
The ‘right’ knife. A ‘sharp’ knife. It was magical watching the skill/experience involved. 👍🏽
@@ablanccanvas Victorinox Fibrox
Seriously huh! I rarely ever watch full videos longer than 10 minutes, but for some reason I was intrigued. I know that if I can buy grass fed beef, I'll do so because there's just something about the taste. Mmm, getting hungry just talking about it.
Nah it was the really neat beards
This is amazing. I’ve only ever seen/eaten grass fed beef so to see the difference is incredible! Thanks so much for this.
Thanks a ton! We are delighted you like it!
Great video! We get our beef halves from our family raised, grass fed red Angus. I have always wondered about the whole process because it seemed like we needed more info for doing our cutsheet, to get exactly what we want! And it's great to see them side by side to compare grass vs grain! Thanks for the info!
Glad it was helpful!
I really appreciate your video and the explanation with visual ti show the difference between grass and grain, I’m familiar with why they’re different from a nutritional and flavor difference in my head but being able to see it side by side makes a big difference and I so appreciate your efforts!
Who would have ever thought it would be so satisfying and entertaining to watch a cow being processed?!?!
Yeah, it's satisfying for some reason. 🤷♂️ Thanks for watching!
cuz were not tree huggers,remember your thinking is just that yours
It's your caveman part of the brain being satisfied
Thoroughly enjoyed learning and seeing that actual difference in the two sourced meats. Well Done! no pun intended
Second video ive watched. Earned a new sub. This info is perfect. I love all things meat, and all this info helps me prepare my food better for my family and I. Thank you.
This was in my recommended section. Really have no idea why.
But, now I’m hooked. Interesting as hell.
Another job well done, RUclips Algorithm! 🙏
Ditto😂
Ditto I was raised on a farm, never knew a lot of this. Thank you RUclips.
Sharp knives are always a show stealer
I used to help my husband dress out the deer and elk he got. He had a friend who had bagged his first deer but didn't have a clue about cutting it up. I went to help him cut and wrap the meat. It's one of my best memories. Thanks for your video
I wasn't looking for an education.
But thanks so much to the Bearded Butchers for giving me one when I wasn't asking.
The difference is incredible. Yhank you both for displaying the reality of food.
I’ve been in the meat industry for 30 years and I absolutely enjoyed watching you guys process the carcass thank you for a great video
Wow, it's an honor -- thank you! 😀
Great video! One thing I would like to point out with the grain fed beef that was not mentioned here! Those concerned with the genetically grown grains are also trying to avoid glyphosate..These grains lead to digestive problems in animals as well as people..They are not fit for either to consume from a healthy standpoint..If we took care in raising grain from a healthier approach and not using glyphosate as a desiccant for drying grains before harvest..The Omega fatty acids as you mentioned in the grass fed beef is more in the ration that support human health..Thank you for a most informative video where all of us learn together and ultimately thrive together eating healthy raisedbeef and grains..
Just saw a recent study on glyphosate and it’s not found in red meat as the animal processes it and excretes it. It’s mostly found in the grains and vegetables that humans consume.
@@briank5877 yes it is found, on lesser dosses but its there.
Like obviously, if its all cows eat their entire lives.
So glad to see these boys with all their fingers still! 🙏🏻
Oh my goodness that smells so good!
I Love to watch the cutting up process and final taste! Great work men ❤
Thank you so much 😃
Thank u for pointing out the type of grass grown & fed really matters on flavor. A steer raised on swamp grass may taste like swamp
Bro! watching you cut those steaks is pure art. A masterpiece!
The education I get from watching you two guys is unbelievable. Just purchased your Black seasoning for a Rib roast for my Kamado. But I also saw a youtube of Alton Brown on how he uses dry aging for a roast covering it with cheese cloth. He noted the same, better flavor, more tender. Thanks for taking the time to show us this. Oh, yea, that view of your farm from the air is awesome. So clean.
Love your guys' videos. Thanks for sharing all this information and your craft.
Thanks for watching!
What a joy to watch professionals at their work !
Are we gonna talk about how these guys handled 150-175 lbs of literal dead weight like it was a bag of feathers
That's why we call our store whiteFEATHER MEATS. 😀 Lol kidding -- it was as heavy as a boulder.
@@TheBeardedButchers I'll bet. I'm an IT Guy, but grew up in custom cabinetry. Always good to see a couple of guys teaching a trade. While showing that it takes skill and hard work to make an honest living.
@@TheBeardedButchers I will not talk about, because when i think about a butcher, i see a 1.90 meter long and 100+ kilo man in front of my imagination. That's a typical butcher, right? But i really waited to hear from you, what you think is the best for retail. As a cow owner i would go for the grain fed, because i got more kilo's and kilo's means more bucks, right?
@@oghuzkhan5117 you could also say "more taste more bucks". Just look at wagyu.
that's called being a man. consider getting in the gym if you can't lift 150#.
This must be why I struggle finding the picanha steaks....the butchers eat them at lunch!!
🤣
On my area the picanha seems to be called the tri tip. Never mind... it's the other side.
😂😂😂
The picanha steaks are still being smoked and grilled. Picanha steaks are just being served on skewers.
@@JohnTheRevelat0r Actually Picanha is the cap on top sirloin. It's compared to filet mignon because of tenderness but the flavor is better.
Great video. The difference between the two becomes so much more apparent when its cut down to portion sized steaks!
These fellows knowledge is something to be an awe.
The color of the grass fed just looks amazing.
I've never seen grain-fed beef before as grain feeding doesn't really exist here in NZ. They do use dry grass and also palm as supplementary feeds but that is more for dairy cattle I believe.
With Zero Marbling lol.
you dont want to eat grass beef as steak, they are tough to chew. because they have less fat, more lean, and less marbling. they are better for soup, strew, because they have a stronger flavor.
@@jackli8088 I like the flavor. lots of people who come to america think our beef has no flavor lol.
Bangladeshi beef cutting so amazing system.

Food Network is terrible these days. Once they lost Emeril and a few others, they went on their own tangent and now have crap like Iron Chef where all they do is invent stupid and waste food. The talents these days is long gone !

Great video! Thank you for sharing all that valuable information
I'll bet you I've watched nearly all of your videos and yet I've never NOT learned something new when I watch the next one; yoiu guys rock.
Like others have said, good to watch tradesmen doing what they passionate about. Very informative fellas. Thank you!
By the end of the video I am definitely a subscriber!!!! Thank you for the knowledge and the video!!! Ya'll are awesome!!!❤
Loved this video! I’m new to all this, and it’s a great and exciting presentation. Thx!
As a cattle producer, I love what you do and glad my brother bought your seasoning variety pack last year for Christmas. the seasoning is awesome! Thank you!
Do you guys also sell?
can u mix a cow on grain and grass to bulk it but get a darker red meat?
This is a great video! As small farm commercial beef raisers, momma cows, we are always explaining grain vs grass-fed. Perfect vid.
This was actually something I've been curious about, pretty glad this popped up.
This is exactly what I needed to see. Great job
You guys are so thorough and awesome. Great technique and information at the same time!
I started watching for the grass fed v grain fed and stayed for the knife 🔪 skills cutting through the beef🥩 like butter 🧈 😮😍🤤
🧈
When I first seen that it was going to be a 44 minute video. I figured cool, I’ll fast forward every 15 minute increments and if I hear something I’ll sit around and listen. However, they captured my attention from beginning to the last second! Great information guys thank you!
I’ll be heading over to your website at the end of the month and purchasing some seasoning!
Great video of the differences. Looks delicious both raw and cooked!
My husband still doesn't listen to me when I tell him we have to let the meat rest after cooking, he just wants to cut into it right away. Love your knife skills and knowledge, thanks for the videos!
Divorce him.
@@aaronm.1998 😂😂😂
@@aaronm.1998 Divorce for that? Funny 🙂
its a man thing.. he probably needs more food
then he will be more patient
Do a taste test.
