Amazing 👌. Wish I was 25 year's younger..... I'd move to Wyoming tommorow !👍🇺🇸

A farming friend of mine in Western Australia now makes more profit from farm slaughtering and butchering 3 beasts a month and selling direct to the consumer than he did selling a herd of 100 cattle each year. Cost him a bit to set up but paid itself off in two seasons. He now sets the price, not takes it. Farmers in general need to learn how to cut out the middlemen who are robbing them blind. Doing and spending less and profiting more.

We sell part of our steers every year as all natural beef processed by a local family-run butcher shop. They're the most satisfying sales we make every year.

The farm to fork series is amazing, I live out of state but it makes me want to support.. so I can keep seeing this amazing content. Thank you

This was a fascinating feature. Fascinating because we Brits have the same issues: closure of local slaughter facilities after industry-driven (read profits) centralisation of slaughter and processing facilities. Livestock grown in maximum economy conditions and, what a surprise, it doesn't have the same good taste as traditionally reared beef. Way to go Wyoming farmers!

Tremendous initiative. Here in Kentucky we are loosing all our small butchers. Too much regulation, plus most feeder cattle go out of state to finish. USDA regulation limit how old beef can be to be butchered without prohibitive disposal cost. 32 months is as old as they can take them. We have researched old dairy cow after watching a show on grass fattened dairy cows in the UK. We have a fat 10 year old milk cow who won’t get in calf, we thought we would try the old dairy cow approach. None of our local processors can take her. Regulation issues. Then we showed the information to our closest butcher. He was very interested. He thinks he can do it if we take the guts -Skull/ spine] for disposal. Your information gives us hope. I am sending the link to this video to our guy. The best steak I ever ate was from a dry 5 year old Angus my father and I butchered in the fall....she had eaten bunch grass and hay all her life. Awesome awesome work you guys are doing.

What a great video! It's inspiring to see the "out of the box" thinking being put to good use in the beef industry!

This is fantastic. I am beginning the process of becoming a certified butcher in September. It is lockers and shops like Black belly that make me want to be a part of it. Will be following from Alberta.

What we save in food cost in our first 60 years of life we spend in medical cost 60-90+.

That is such bs, if the postal service can track billions of parcels a year then meat packers can track thousands.

That was a very informative and well needed video! We have to take our country back.... meaning old traditional ways that healthy for our country and our families! It is politics that have destroyed our well being and they make it all about a dollar.. yes we need money but it is not the most valuable thing on earth. This world need a peace, structure, love and our old positive ways back✌🏾

Always been my dream to open up a locker.

I love this series

Very informative, thanks.

we're having the exact same issues in Europe! however i wonder if it'd be possible that people form a kind of corporate entity / co-op which sole purpose is to raise beef for its own consumption. the co-op would buy calfs, then hire a rancher who then needs to take care of them. finally the co-op takes them to a small butcher with non-sale certification and just hands out the meat to its stakeholders. no sales involved.

Awesome!!

Yes, I live in Milford CT...where can I get locally provided meat ?

It’s going to take people like this to change the industry for the consumer who gives a damm about what they eat and infuse the old fashion qualities back into a beautiful product raised and dispatched with dignity, quality and respect. We still have the ranchers, farmers and the untainted land and livestock to do so. Let’s make that change. Bring back the small businesses.

Blame the 4 big packing corporations for robbing both ranchers and consumers, the 4 are working together like a monopoly to manipulate prices

I hope they’re deboning the steaks those old cows produce. FDA has the 30 month or older rule.

Watching this while eating hamburger helper

I MIss the local butchers as a kid my mom would send me to pick up our weekly order.

I had to leave wyoming the state I loved working on our family ranch to look for good work and see our ranch almost disappear.

Yes, in addition to meat, provide collagen supplements from the United States...replace Vital Proteins...

Cheap steak to me is a small sirloin for 6bucks.wall mart charges 12bucks.

heatin up

Yet another example of how capitalism and corporate greed ruins everything. I love supporting small, local farmers!

Why won’t Wyoming move to a TA program then you ll be able to move across state lines with no need to change federal rule/ law

👍

the best beef is from old cows, Michelin chefs know that long time. the most thought after are old Spanish cows.

Cut out the big business in the farmer would come back a thousand times over

23:25 thats because they add molasses to the feed smh lol

Follow New Zealand's lead and eliminate the USDA. Rural America would be revitalized.

Time for these rancher has come! Cut out the middle man. In the middle of this pandemic and food shortages because of government sanctions! Cut the government out and sell to us! You deserve this time. We need you.

Keep that education going.............bring back the butcher.......I remember as a youg child seeing the neighbor kill and butcher a hog....we should all know about our food and where it is from.

Like# 667 !!!

As a consumer, I am not willing to go back to the days where you had to spend 30% of your income on food. Do you really want to go back to a less efficient days and spend $10 for ground beef or $6.50/lb for free pasteur chicken. Th small producers would love you to say yes. It is NOT going to happen.

the beef I see on this seems to be cow grade. steer has white fat.

Packers would be nothing if it wasn't for the beef, pork, lamb, poultry producer. You thieves should be ashamed of yourselves for stealing from the hard working producer who starts it all. PAY THEM APPROPRIATELY FOR THEIR PRODUCT! I hate seeing producers struggle and the packing plants get richer. That is not what it's about. Too many farms are being switched over to all steering wheel farming.

Now is the chance! Take action! Your ideas are great. Now with cov 19 crises the packing houses are down. RUN WITH YOUR IDEAS! we need you! Sell it to Trump! "It's buisness... it could make America strong". do ita

Horrificly cruel industry. Boycott!

Efficient and totally inhumane, you should all be ashamed of yourselves for rearing animals in this manner.
