Bearded Butcher Scott Perkins returns for part 2 to explain the difference when slaughtering small animals vs the previous video that explained large animals.
Stick around for the bonus; How Scott Lost His Teeth
Scott explains a knockbox and how to kill small animals like pigs and sheep under USDA inspection with full humane handling certification. The Whitefeather Meats slaughter process passes its humane handling certification on schedule and all animals are treated with the utmost respect and care. Every ounce of meat harvested from our animals are used to feed animals and families across Northeast Ohio and the rest of the country.
This video is for informational purposes only. Scott is a highly trained butcher with more than 20 years of experience as a butcher and with strictly regulated USDA policies and procedures. No animals were harmed or implied to be harmed for this video. Being a butcher is extremely dangerous and animals are unpredictable. Please do not attempt anything described in this video.

I mean this is essential viewing. Respect for showing the nitty gritty of what goes on. As a teenager I was shown How to hunt and prep game and I was also shown an abbatoir in full production by my father. He was a strong believer in showing the truth behind what you ate and the alternatives to it. The abbotoir was An education to say the least. Long story short we both carried out half a pig for the freezer. If watching this makes you not want to eat meat, then I don't blame you and I would respect that, it's all about respect to the animal in my opinion. Even now I sometimes hunt for game and have shown both my son's how to hunt and prep game so they have the same respect for the animal, one son is now a vegetarian and that's all good. Fantastic channel guys.

Once again, great video! And much respect Scott to you and your brother. I am a retired Alaska logger with about 30 years experience. No mas. Gets so you can't do it anymore. The body just wears out. We didn't want anyone to know how dangerous it was so they wouldn't take it away. (OSHA, NLRB, Insurance, Workmans Comp. regulations etc.) You savvy? Eventually they would, in a way. Back in my day farming was considered the most dangerous and it makes sense. Think about it. 15-17 year old kid has been doing this since he/she was knee high to a grasshopper. Lots of experience. So daddy let's him have at it. But he's still just a kid. My dad was a welder and I nearly had my thumb ripped off by an industrial drill press because of a pair of raggedy gloves. I was about 14 at the time. Well, long story short, they finally figured it out. How many deaths per hundred thousand. Logging is the most dangerous by far. Pretty much always has been. About twice as dangerous as the 2nd most, which is Construction at about 67 per. I thought about it very much. It's because it's so random. Anywhere you stand, whether you're on the rigging crew or falling timber your never really safe. Saw many injuries great and small. From daily 1st blood (owies) to the horrific. But those of us that loved it, what we did and where we were, the gruelling work, danger and excitement, it was heaven. I even miss the smell. You kinda get addicted to the adrenaline rush. Many were combat vets from WW2, Korea and Vietnam. Sorry for the ramble. You share so I share. Y'all take care and be safe.

Thanks Scott (and everyone else involved). I've been working on and off in retail and custom cutting for about 7 years now and am so excited to be just a few days away from opening a small shop of my own for mobile and uninspected (wild game and privately owned livestock) processing as well as sale of my own home grown pork way, way up in northern Alberta, Canada. The natural gas and power lines were honestly laid in today! While it all came together through the summer, it's been really great to take note of the things you're doing in your area through your videos and I'm looking forward to giving some of your "tricks" a try in my own practices. If all goes by the plan, I hope to have a licensed abattoir (and bigger shop!) within a couple years. I've been looking over any ideas that come along in planning out my kill floor. Incorporating your small box within the large... Never even crossed my mind (too simple and obvious I guess HA!). All of your videos - every - single - one - have been a pleasure to view and there's always been something I walk away from the screen thinking "I'm definitely going to try that tip out." So thanks (again) for that and everything else you do.

What I like about your videos are how the large sections of the animal are cut into the familiar pieces like steaks, roasts, etc.

Impressive. Back in the 70's I worked for a few months at a large commercial packing house as the plant draftsman working on a redesign of the entire plant. I saw a couple of disturbing things while there....like pigs being driven to a gate, the other side of which was an electrocution device...they would be panicked knowing something bad was happening, and I saw one pig get it's snout stuck against a post beside the gate....a worker came over and repeatedly kicked the thing until the snout came free (and bleeding)...then as the pigs went through a second gate they were electrocuted....however as the pigs were not of uniform size, the current was set to stun....but low enough as to not overdo the smaller pigs...several times I saw larger animals come to, dangling from hooks, and squealing in terror as they went through a flame that burned the hair off of them. I didn't eat pork for a long time after that experience.

Grew up on a farm raising mostly pigs, some cattle, my uncle was the butcher, he owned a butcher shop. Several times a year, we would slaughter several pigs for the whole family. I have home video as a little kid doing the sausage stuffing, and my God I love sausages, it's a German thing. As I grew up, I became a Paramedic, then eventually an Emergency Physician, so I see all sorts of sad things and death of course, yet I go on without missing a beat. One thing I could never tolerate was the killing of animals, it bothered me deeply, so my family always made sure I was not around for that part, kudos to those that do this part over and over. Today here in Germany, we use gas asphyxiation, they just pass out without any struggling.

Great video. I am just wondering whether there's no better way to make that door safer, though.

Your story of your teeth knocked out by a steer reminds me of a story my parents told me of a friend of theirs who went to a hockey game and a puck flew over the glass and hit him in the mouth. Not only did the puck knock out all his teeth but it knocked the person out cold. He had to be fitted for all new choppers. Scary

I can sympathize with you I lost my two front teeth when a high pressure hose blew up on a cellar jet on a drilling rig we'll sit in the back with over 2,000 lb of pressure coming out of oil 2 in hose that was over 35 years ago so always protect your teeth

You need some bugman glasses and tattoo sleeves to go with those beards. Might as well go all the way.🤣

I don’t understand knocking? Years ago farmers used a small caliber weapon. Put it to the skull and the animal/cow died instantly. Once the animal was dead blood letting began. Does the knocking end life instantly or does the animal die from bleeding out ? Just curious.

Hopefully they will reply if I'm wrong but I think the idea is to render them unconscious with the knocking and there is no pain, then when they bleed them the heart is actually still pumping which will make the meat cleaner and gets most of the blood out. This actually is more humane for the animal because bleeding out is a calmer death that a sudden shot. He did say in a previous video that they actually shoot bison though, I think cuz the skull is too thick for the knock. We bleed our chickens because it's more humane than the traditional head chopping.
