Finished working the beef yesterday! Almost too big for us to handle! I am tired today. A different type of work than normal. Had good help with my two sons, wife, daughter in law and two grandsons 3 and 6 years old.

Thanks for the pictures. I always have thought it would be nice to have a place to butcher.

Makes me hungry!

When I was in high school, I worked evenings and weekends for a neighbor who was a few years older than me, and decided if he was going to make it in the beef business, he needed to sell it cut and wrapped. It was pretty enjoyable work, as he was well set up.

He made a living at it for several years, then found out how much more he could make as a meatcutter for local supermarket, so that was the end of that.

This is just a home shop. I built it just so we would know it was our own meat. Have control over the conditions and do it when we wanted. Too many crooks out their.

Reminds me of my youth (LONG TIME AGO LOL) my dad had a meat market/butcher shop. We raised grain feed beef and hogs. My one brother ran the meat business along with dad when dad wasn't working the farms. So needless to say i was drafted to bone out meat and grind when not working the farm and lets just say if i had to make a living in the meat business i would starve. Thanks for the pictures and how do i contact you to place my order. LOL

How big is that room? How much refer/freezer space is attached??

Nice to see. Have often thought of doing something like that myself. In are neck of the woods the locale abattoirs are being so over regulated that it cost us almost as much to have it cut as the meat is worth.

The whole building is 14'x20'. With a 6'x8' cooler and two upright freezers. I use them to help freeze the meat after butchering. You need to spread out the meat and not stack it so it will freeze faster.
