My tribal nation raises a bison herd as well as a grain fed cattle herd, and both are available for purchase. This video was super informative about the similarities and differences between them and will help a lot with my purchasing choices in the future. Great vid.
Do you still have the original recipes that your ancestors used to cook the Bison? It would be cool if they were combined with the settlers orihinal recipes for a comprehensive cook book for cooking Bison. It would be an authentic Old West cookbook.
I like how you brought up the fact that bison numbers were boosted because of efforts to farm them for their animal products, just goes to show that sustainable farming is great for the health of animal species we share the planet with.
The quickest way to save a critter, is to make it profitable to grow it. The fastest way to do that is to make people want to eat it or wear it. There are species of African animals that exist only because people imported some to Texas for hunting. Guiding someone on a hunt for a couple a year is profitable enough to manage a healthy herd.
what he didn't really touch on was how they became endangered... Is it true that they were targeted for their pelts primarily to remove them as a food source for first nations people??
@@pattakoko1348 from what iv heard, the truth is that bisons ended up being massacred in huge numbers specifically because they were viewed as the first nations food source. It was the colonizers way to genocide the native people through starvation. That's ugly history for you

I’m Sicangu Lakota from the Rosebud Sioux Reservation in South Dakota. It is told that the Tatanka Oyaté (Buffalo Nation) will come back and heal a nation. My father and grandparents told me stories about the Bison. We as Lakota people had no cancer or worried about obesity and diabetes. It’s a shame that the U.S. Government tried to kill off the Bison as a war tactic against the plains tribes, but I am very happy to see that Bison (Tatanka) is coming back. I am so proud to see your family help in bringing it to the American people and incorporating it to their diets. Keep up the great work fellas.

I like how the channel owner completely ignored your comment. Settlers don’t care about native history, especially since it was their ancestors who annihilated the buffalo for sport and to force your tribe onto reservations. They clearly omit this fact in their little history section.
I couldnt agree more, Bison just wins. My dad owned the largest heard of bison in the NW when I was growing up in the 90's, he eventually sold the herd but having a front yard filled with three hundred plus American bison as a kid was pretty special and not something many can relate to. There wasn't a part of those bison that didn't get used when they were slaughtered. Full mounts, robes, meat, skulls, and even the hooves were turned into ash trays.
@ewg6200 had to look up the number he had a little over 250. Ironically now the ranch is a Amazon server farm... can't remember who he sold the majority of the herd too but there is another large herd in Wallowa Oregon. Or at least there was with a couple hundred head at least.

Buckeye born boy here, been living in Montana the past 16 years. Harvested my 1st Bison on December 1st. Just happened to see this video after having Bison Fillets with Peppercorn Cream Sauce for dinner. Going to have to stop by your store next time we are back home visiting in Ashland, OH. Love your videos fellas!
Yes, the big supermarkets have killed off the family butchers and fishmongers. I'm lucky to have a great butcher and they've worked from 0400 to 2200, 6 days a week this past year. The old boys in their 70's have come back from retirement, and they've all kept our town fed when the supermarket shelves were empty.
I did enjoy the vvideo and now I gotsta go git me sum Bison!! I have only eaten it once many years ago and was greatly impressed. Yall keep doin what u do cuz it is fun to watch yall. Thanx
I had bison once as a kid. A burger at a gun show with my father. I still remember that burger being the beefiest beef I ever beefed. I loved every second. Too bad bison is prohibitively expensive in my town (Upstate New York).
Yeah expensive indeed. The last time I saw some Bison in a health food store here in Buffalo NY about 7 years ago, 3 pounds was $34. I quickly lost interest.
I am Blown Away by this video. From the processing of the animals then that bad ass grill to the history of your store. One of the best videos I have watched. Thanks for sharing.
@@jacobharden6316 well I know all about Fairmount and last thing I think of is Bison lol.. alot horses down there.. im about 30 miles east but I'd like to come check out your system and help out if you ever need it..

Such an incredible video, a huge appreciation for the animals, incredibly educational, super knowledgeable and authentic. I’m in awe. Time to go order some bison porterhouse steaks.
If you ever get the chance, you need to visit their butcher shop. I live about 4 hours away in another state. I made the trip right before Christmas. Beautiful shop. They keep it spotless too. Really friendly employees. Brought a cooler which I loaded full lol! Great part about it is it is near some great Amish areas in Ohio too. Found some wonderful farms in the area that sell all manner of food and other items to the general public. Even picked up a fresh goose for Christmas dinner! Lots of hidden gems in Ohio that I never knew about. Can't wait to go back again.
I’m 500 miles away though pretty dedicated to a good steak though. if he comments back and has lunch planned out for us or something I’ll be otw with a couple coolers lol
years ago, I stopped by your place and saw all the bison running around in the back. My son thought that was so cool. They all ran away and we could actually feel the ground shake. love your videos
And is it only me, or do you feel like curling up with a hot cuppa watching them in the snow...its 37 celcius in Adelaide today and yet Im craving a roast and hot drink. Im sure that will fade if I went outside.
@@glenncunningham6397 I actually didnt know myself so I had a quick google, and yes, we are farming Bison in Australia! I was quite surprised as we have a booming cattle business and our ecology is pretty harsh, but there are small populations here. I havent seen it in the shops but Im going to go looking harder now. Kangaroo is everywhere, thats in supermarkets, but its quite gamey, even more so than deer. Still tasty, and remarkably lean, but not for everyone. Only place Ive seen Bison is at Monarto Zoo so I obviously need to get out more.
It is really nice to watch you two brothers enjoying your family business. The way that you keep all the traditions of your father going is a real inspiration. You guys embody what it is to be family. I'd love to visit your business one day and share some time with you two. I have learned loads from you and it would be nice to learn more.
Only had Bison once in my life. My uncle was raising bison for a while and he was one of the first in the country to do it( I'm from Sweden). So while I was over once with the family we had Bison burgers lol. Kinda want to try it again but since then my uncle sold all his Bisons since he was getting a bit old, he don't even have cattle now.
Bison are a keystone species for NA plains. Scientific name is Bison bison. But traditionally associated people will always call them Buffalo. Check out Jayson Baldes and the work he does to ensure their reintegration on the Wind River.
As a new butcher apprentice in New Zealand. It was so interesting seeing the 2 different sizes, but learning more about bison. Makes me jealous we dont have them here. Awesome vid especially hearing about your dad and how it got started
You Gentlemen are the Salt of the Earth. In a country full of home owners associations and apartment complexes Americans have forgotten how to forage, farm, hunt and process their own food. Have you ever considered teaching a course in person on how to process animals?
Great education. I can remember back in the early 90s most steak houses and burger joints, even diners here in NJ used to push Bison like it was going to be the next best thing. Now in the last 15-20 years or so you don’t see so much of it offered at these places.
Love your videos, but especially in this one I loved to see the two of you identifying and respecting the others’ area of expertise. There is nothing like working with people whose experience/talent complements your own and you and they can appreciate it. Excellent video!
Other UA-camrs should take a lesson from this fine segment. The knowledge and skills of this trade are masterfully presented with right to the point precision. Your videos are the “Blue Angels” of bovine . Bravo!
Question: I grew up in the 70s and 80s and I remember my local supermarket selling meat labeled Beefalo. The claim was that it was a cross between beef cattle and bison. Does that animal exist or was it a marketing gimmick?
Beefaloo is cross between cattle and bison. One parent is 50/50, and the other is 75/25. I guess if they are fertile, two beefaloo would produce another beefaloo.
I lived in Colorado for a brief time, and my wife and I bought buffalo, and We both agreed that it tasted awesome... I’m so glad that they are making a comeback. Peace and thank you for the uploads.
Bison is absolutely the premium meat, delicious and lean. I like my meat well done and have never had dry bison, burgers melt in your mouth as does all the cuts. It's become so popular in Ohio that the stores run out very quick, a little pricey, but so worth it. Thank you for the great video.
I’d probably eat something other than chicken. I can do bacon and ham (where I’m at there’s a storefront kind of in the sticks) but my diet is an easy 95% chicken. A ‘beef’ steak fried in a skillet that comes from a Walmart almost smells like roadkill getting cooked, kind of hard to explain but it’s an absolutely horrendous stench
As Scott placed the Bison piece into his mouth... I mentally tasted it with him..... Amazing! If you guys had a Butchers School, I'd enroll today!!! You Guys are the Truth!! Thanks
Yeah, maybe not, but it would still be an awesome video. All the other bear butchering videos are lame. The bearded butchers would do a great job, a lot of hunters would love to watch it, myself included.
Thank you for an excellent detailed breakdown of the 2 animals and comparison. Kudos to you both for your complete respect that you have for the animals you harvest, along with passion you bring to your trade and profession. Love you content.🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 from Downunder australia.
First video of you guys that I've watched and I was impressed! Didnt think I'd watch that long of a video for the first go but it was definitly worth it. Gave me a new appreciation for what you do and the meat of the animals we consume.
Thank you for this video, so informative and oddly got some good memories. An I'd have to agree bison is sooo good. Growing up on a homestead my parents had mostly cows at first but we gradually shifted to mostly bison as they became more readily available and make a good turn around an overall more healthy/hardy animals. I learned a lot about animals and the importance of conversation. It's been a policy my parents *ingrained* in us kids about raising and/or hunting. That if you take a life you owe that animal a good life, a clean death and you use *EVERYTHING.*
"Hi Welcome to Home Depot. What brings you in today?" "I know where to go thanks. I need to grab some more hacksaw blades" "Oh Ok. Are you cutting wood, metal....." "Actually bone and meat" "Oh......" "I am a full service independent butcher and processor" "Oh !!!!"
It's 3:30 a.m. and you start mentioning 2" Porterhouses. I ain't got any portholes in the freezer or fridge right now. I think I've got a resentment cooking up in the frying pan of my mind.
Als ich sah, dass das Video 1 Stunde und 34 Minuten dauert, dachte ich mir: "Ja, so lange schaue ich mir das auf keinen Fall an", aber die Art und Weise, wie ihr über die Schnitte und die Geschichte gesprochen habt, war so interessant und fesselnd, dass ich nicht anders konnte, und dann habe ich gemerkt, dass ich hier gesessen und alles gesehen habe 🤣
I agree! I had a bison cheese burger at a restaurant in College Station, Texas around 15 years ago and it was delicious. However, I cannot remember the name of the name of the establishment.
My father and I love love bison burgers. We’re from the East Coast of Canada but we travel a lot to South Dakota and our love for bison meat has brought us believe it or not closer together. My father passed away this February and before he passed all he wanted was one more bison burger, but bison is hard to come by around here. Great content by way as well. Cheers
Commented for posterity. Cheers. EDIT: To be honest I didn't think I'd watch the whole thing , but you got me hooked. Before I knew it an hour had passed by and I was remembering my grandfather and father butchering beef and home-grown boars (sorry not english). The historical bit at the end got me by the feels, not gonna lie. Can't wait to see that video you're talking about at the end, about your father and the start of the business. I've had the chance to hunt, kill, butcher and eat all lot of the wild game here in Quebec, I understand the deep meaning in all of this. 2x Cheers my friends
You guys are 100% amazing. I love every single thing you are doing. This is my JAM. I buy meat from my butcher. Not from the floor generally. BUT I want to break down my meat. Cheaper, better, and more my choice. Still, your craft allows me to BBQ as is. And I can cook.
Really enjoy all your episodes! Seans contribution to this video was a nice addition. Given the amount of farm shows out there how about some regular episodes regarding the farm side of your operations? Thanks for your great videos. Cheers. PS: Just picked up a six pack of your spices just in time for my son-in-laws birthday. Great gift!
Guys, guys, guys, I don't know where to start , Loved the video , The History of White Feather, the break down and especially the cooking on something I have never seen before ..so where can I get a Bison steak at 11:30 at night ..My mouth is watering..Can't wait for the next one
@@stevensteele160 yes , i remember the first time i seen a moose through my scope , i said to myself that looks like a horse ! and i love horses , but i was reminded by my friend .......thats a moose !!! and if you dont shoot its going to disappear . So i shot but missed 😂😒 the next one i seen was , scope , crosshairs , moose down . It has a unique taste , especially the liver and when u ground round for moose burgers . But meat has to be cooled and keep the hair off the meat and flies , The hair has a lot of oil and that oil gives meat a gamey taste , if its not kept off meat . That was my job ........hair picker .
I’m not even into these things but my mom is a Somali butcher for Halal meat in the USA so it made me interested. Very interesting channel I’m gonna subscribe
Thumbs up. Who says the internet isn't research. I'm gonna reference this video. These guys show and talk their business and I'm sure not worried about internet gossip. Great job and content.
You guys have actually managed to make butchery interesting and cool.That,I think,is a tour de force,and shows how deeply involved and passionate you are about your job.And to make me be interested in butchery,that's quite the feat.Great job guys.
This is the best and most informative video I have seen on butchering so far. The camera has an equal affinity for both brothers. They share an ingrained sense of humility and are "salt of the earth" type of people. I wish you the best in all of your endeavors.
I’ve been eating bison for about as long as you have. I would bet with everything I have I can prepare what 5 different meals with 5 different cuts and no one would know the difference between the 2 critters. I also like the bison for the fact of health reasons. You take that porter house and some roasted vegetables you won’t need anything else. Well done men. Congrats.
I wasn't sure I liked you guys until I watched this one. I absolutely love the education you provide in this. Thank you for show this to 3.07m people. I love the buffalo. It is the only red meet I buy for my children. Thank you.
It’s curious, but here in Britain ground venison (deer) costs as much as a quarter less than the same of beef and yet in the States, ground bison is over twice the cost of your beef! Both deer and bison as we know are nutritionally superior but perhaps the nature of economics of raising and harvesting both these animals play a large part in the final cost!
Recently tried Bison filet side-by-side with Beef filet at Hall's Chophouse in Charleston (one of the best steakhouses in America). Gotta say, the bison was damn good.

Just happened to see this video after having Bison Fillets with Peppercorn Cream Sauce for dinner. Going to have to stop by your store next time we are back home visiting in Ashland, OH. Love your videos fellas!
Just found this channel. I think it’s important for all of us to understand how the meat gets to our plates. You guys are awesome.
Everyone knows meat originates in grocery stores,the high costs are associated with the power necessary to create it out of thin air. Lol
@@dennislock3415 Good one Pard! 🤠
@@nmelkhunter1 👍😂
Just watching you guys eat that is torture.
I wish there were more butcher shops like this in my city
Ditto!!
Same
Butchers and fishmongers. There are simply very few around.
Yes, the big supermarkets have killed off the family butchers and fishmongers.
I'm lucky to have a great butcher and they've worked from 0400 to 2200, 6 days a week this past year. The old boys in their 70's have come back from retirement, and they've all kept our town fed when the supermarket shelves were empty.
any at all ...
This is absolutely art. There’s no other word for it.
I'm not sure why YT recommended this. But I was entertained and astonished by the cutting process and explanation.
Am I the only one who loves the sound their knives makes when it slices meat & bone?
_Desperately searches through her boyfriend's phone to see if he goes on the internet as "FatX Thor 24."_
I like the riping sound.
@LetMeSeeThis99 Let me guess, you live in the city and almost never cook your own food?
I did enjoy the vvideo and now I gotsta go git me sum Bison!! I have only eaten it once many years ago and was greatly impressed. Yall keep doin what u do cuz it is fun to watch yall. Thanx
I had bison once as a kid. A burger at a gun show with my father. I still remember that burger being the beefiest beef I ever beefed. I loved every second.
Too bad bison is prohibitively expensive in my town (Upstate New York).
Yeah expensive indeed.
The last time I saw some Bison in a health food store here in Buffalo NY about 7 years ago, 3 pounds was $34. I quickly lost interest.
The worst part is watching them eat, cause I ain't there eatin' too! Excellent education fellas!!
I need smell-o-vision
@@gingerdisse How about eato-vison too? Miss the bison I had when I was young in Va, it was good.
@@55Quirll I'm in Virginia and have bison in the freezer
@@gingerdisse Lucky, I miss eating them, they're really good. Don't have them here in Thailand, only water buffalo, they do have some jersey cattle.
I am Blown Away by this video. From the processing of the animals then that bad ass grill to the history of your store. One of the best videos I have watched. Thanks for sharing.
We raise bison in central Illinois but we love our beef as well. Thank you for the comparison.
Where abouts in central il? I'm in same area..
@@chipsammich2078 Fairmount il. Look us up!
@@jacobharden6316 well I know all about Fairmount and last thing I think of is Bison lol.. alot horses down there.. im about 30 miles east but I'd like to come check out your system and help out if you ever need it..
@@chipsammich2078 are you thinking of Fairmount Park? We are a small town just east of champaign. Shoot us an email and come by and take a ride in the UTV and see the operation. Hardenbisonranch@gmail.com
@@jacobharden6316 thank god. Your right.. I get up to the shelbyville Mattoon area once or twice a month and I'd love to check out your operation..
Enjoyed hearing the history of the company, good for you guys keeping everything honest and humble
Such an incredible video, a huge appreciation for the animals, incredibly educational, super knowledgeable and authentic. I’m in awe.
Time to go order some bison porterhouse steaks.
You are so kind, Jordan! Go for it!
....ahere? i don't see a post for Bison sales?
*The Bearded Butchers* are an education 🧐 as well as a source of great meats. 😋 This is what makes for great UA-cam videos.
Even the Vid takes 1hr or so worth to watch
Any plans to offer online sales of meat? Several butchers around the country are doing it now. Love the videos, keep them coming!
Right I’d be in line also, send me half a cow and a half dozen bison steaks lol
If you ever get the chance, you need to visit their butcher shop. I live about 4 hours away in another state. I made the trip right before Christmas. Beautiful shop. They keep it spotless too. Really friendly employees. Brought a cooler which I loaded full lol! Great part about it is it is near some great Amish areas in Ohio too. Found some wonderful farms in the area that sell all manner of food and other items to the general public. Even picked up a fresh goose for Christmas dinner! Lots of hidden gems in Ohio that I never knew about. Can't wait to go back again.
@@kurttrzeciak8326 yup lol Ohio is well worth the trip :)
I’m 500 miles away though pretty dedicated to a good steak though. if he comments back and has lunch planned out for us or something I’ll be otw with a couple coolers lol
I did order all the spices and Bbq sauce. Going to try one out tomorrow not sure which one yet
years ago, I stopped by your place and saw all the bison running around in the back. My son thought that was so cool. They all ran away and we could actually feel the ground shake. love your videos
Love it. Your kid is right - Bison are very cool 😉
@@TheBeardedButchers and they taste good too! BTW, love your Black seasoning on my Ribeyes! yum
Possibility of me eating bison as an Aussie: minimal
And yet, here I am, watching avidly.
kangaroo meat is best . It is legal I think in Australia .
@@dakshjhamb5514 Yeah it is, considering things like kangaroo jerky exists. But I'm sure that roo and bison taste very different 😁
@@BlueSpiritFire1 I eaten both and not too much in similar taste if anything my deer back home taste like the kangaroo meat here in Australia
hey I've been eating American bison raised in New Zealand because I live in Bali ... ask around at your giant grocery stores and best butchers
@@bawjkt :O oh wow thanks! I had no idea they raised them in NZ! I'll have to see if I can track some down then! 😄
Laying on the couch after I done all the house work ready for the week (Sunday here in Australia) AND BAMMMM here’s an hour I needed 🤘🏽
And is it only me, or do you feel like curling up with a hot cuppa watching them in the snow...its 37 celcius in Adelaide today and yet Im craving a roast and hot drink. Im sure that will fade if I went outside.
Sounds great!
I'm curious- is bison meat available down under?
@@glenncunningham6397 Unfortunetly not! We have a particular water buffalo but absolutely no one likes them because they taste like ass! Hahaha!
@@glenncunningham6397 I actually didnt know myself so I had a quick google, and yes, we are farming Bison in Australia! I was quite surprised as we have a booming cattle business and our ecology is pretty harsh, but there are small populations here. I havent seen it in the shops but Im going to go looking harder now. Kangaroo is everywhere, thats in supermarkets, but its quite gamey, even more so than deer. Still tasty, and remarkably lean, but not for everyone. Only place Ive seen Bison is at Monarto Zoo so I obviously need to get out more.
It is really nice to watch you two brothers enjoying your family business. The way that you keep all the traditions of your father going is a real inspiration. You guys embody what it is to be family. I'd love to visit your business one day and share some time with you two. I have learned loads from you and it would be nice to learn more.
Only had Bison once in my life. My uncle was raising bison for a while and he was one of the first in the country to do it( I'm from Sweden). So while I was over once with the family we had Bison burgers lol. Kinda want to try it again but since then my uncle sold all his Bisons since he was getting a bit old, he don't even have cattle now.
If you ever make it out the the US it’s very popular in Montana
Bison are a keystone species for NA plains. Scientific name is Bison bison. But traditionally associated people will always call them Buffalo. Check out Jayson Baldes and the work he does to ensure their reintegration on the Wind River.
I'm a butcher in Colombia, I always learn a lot of you guys, thanks.
We appreciate this, fellow butcher!
As a new butcher apprentice in New Zealand. It was so interesting seeing the 2 different sizes, but learning more about bison. Makes me jealous we dont have them here. Awesome vid especially hearing about your dad and how it got started
One youtube channel you just can't skip till the end. Always entertaining and educational.
You Gentlemen are the Salt of the Earth. In a country full of home owners associations and apartment complexes Americans have forgotten how to forage, farm, hunt and process their own food. Have you ever considered teaching a course in person on how to process animals?
Great education. I can remember back in the early 90s most steak houses and burger joints, even diners here in NJ used to push Bison like it was going to be the next best thing. Now in the last 15-20 years or so you don’t see so much of it offered at these places.
Love your videos, but especially in this one I loved to see the two of you identifying and respecting the others’ area of expertise. There is nothing like working with people whose experience/talent complements your own and you and they can appreciate it. Excellent video!
Our pleasure, thank you!
23 mins into the video and I’m stuck still watching the professionals cut meat so flawlessly. 🤙
Oddly satisfying.
Those are some genuine good people. All the best to believers like you guys.
Other UA-camrs should take a lesson from this fine segment. The knowledge and skills of this trade are masterfully presented with right to the point precision. Your videos are the “Blue Angels” of bovine . Bravo!
I think every industry should have someone like yourselves to show everyone what’s going on but you guys are killllllling it
Question:
I grew up in the 70s and 80s and I remember my local supermarket selling meat labeled Beefalo. The claim was that it was a cross between beef cattle and bison.
Does that animal exist or was it a marketing gimmick?
After a quick google search ts a hybrid of european cattle and bison apparently the meat has superior protein, so interesting
Beefaloo is cross between cattle and bison. One parent is 50/50, and the other is 75/25. I guess if they are fertile, two beefaloo would produce another beefaloo.
It is a real thing. We used to have a ranch in my hometown where they had beefalo. I remember driving by and seeing them as a kid
2" anything for meats is a definite yes!!
1.25 inches
One and a quarter?...
I lived in Colorado for a brief time, and my wife and I bought buffalo, and We both agreed that it tasted awesome... I’m so glad that they are making a comeback. Peace and thank you for the uploads.
Bison is absolutely the premium meat, delicious and lean. I like my meat well done and have never had dry bison, burgers melt in your mouth as does all the cuts. It's become so popular in Ohio that the stores run out very quick, a little pricey, but so worth it. Thank you for the great video.
Well said!
I’d probably eat something other than chicken. I can do bacon and ham (where I’m at there’s a storefront kind of in the sticks) but my diet is an easy 95% chicken. A ‘beef’ steak fried in a skillet that comes from a Walmart almost smells like roadkill getting cooked, kind of hard to explain but it’s an absolutely horrendous stench
As Scott placed the Bison piece into his mouth... I mentally tasted it with him..... Amazing! If you guys had a Butchers School, I'd enroll today!!! You Guys are the Truth!! Thanks
That was an education. And the Rib Eye is certainly my favorite cut. ❤
Thanks for watching, brother!
@@TheBeardedButchers that was great, i wanna come cut up a cow there one day 😄
Never thought I could watch hours of this type of material. I want to order from them.
Go for it, Doug! Go here: beardedbutchers.com/ 😉
If you guys did a “How to Butcher a Bear” vid, it would be one of the most watched videos on utube
It’d be popular but Idk about that
Yeah I doubt it'd be in there top 10 of views
Yeah, maybe not, but it would still be an awesome video. All the other bear butchering videos are lame. The bearded butchers would do a great job, a lot of hunters would love to watch it, myself included.
The bear getting hit in his nuts was pretty funny
Ive never thought of ppl eating bears
Thank you for an excellent detailed breakdown of the 2 animals and comparison. Kudos to you both for your complete respect that you have for the animals you harvest, along with passion you bring to your trade and profession. Love you content.🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 from Downunder australia.
Our pleasure. Lee!
First video of you guys that I've watched and I was impressed! Didnt think I'd watch that long of a video for the first go but it was definitly worth it. Gave me a new appreciation for what you do and the meat of the animals we consume.
Is it ok to give a thumbs up, even if I only started watching 30 seconds ago?
Yes, if it was done to spite the vegans.
What are you a vegan? Not that theres anything wrong with that. Lol (Seinfeld Fans Wya?)
You watch the video for that long then like?
Thank you for this video, so informative and oddly got some good memories. An I'd have to agree bison is sooo good. Growing up on a homestead my parents had mostly cows at first but we gradually shifted to mostly bison as they became more readily available and make a good turn around an overall more healthy/hardy animals.
I learned a lot about animals and the importance of conversation. It's been a policy my parents *ingrained* in us kids about raising and/or hunting. That if you take a life you owe that animal a good life, a clean death and you use *EVERYTHING.*
"Hi Welcome to Home Depot. What brings you in today?"
"I know where to go thanks. I need to grab some more hacksaw blades"
"Oh Ok. Are you cutting wood, metal....."
"Actually bone and meat"
"Oh......"
"I am a full service independent butcher and processor"
"Oh !!!!"
i love these guys man, good vibes overall, it really shows the chemistry that these guys have together
We appreciate that, Cody!
It's 3:30 a.m. and you start mentioning 2" Porterhouses. I ain't got any portholes in the freezer or fridge right now. I think I've got a resentment cooking up in the frying pan of my mind.
Casually watching as I fry bacon and sausage at 1 in the morning.. Lol
I ate a bison burger in Ok. years ago, Very good as I recall but havn't had an oppertunity since.Thanks Guys
Als ich sah, dass das Video 1 Stunde und 34 Minuten dauert, dachte ich mir: "Ja, so lange schaue ich mir das auf keinen Fall an", aber die Art und Weise, wie ihr über die Schnitte und die Geschichte gesprochen habt, war so interessant und fesselnd, dass ich nicht anders konnte, und dann habe ich gemerkt, dass ich hier gesessen und alles gesehen habe 🤣
Bison is so good, it’s almost like a smoother taste beef, have only had sirloin and ground bison but man is it delicious
You're right!
Do you know where are they
I agree! I had a bison cheese burger at a restaurant in College Station, Texas around 15 years ago and it was delicious. However, I cannot remember the name of the name of the establishment.
@@TheBeardedButchers Do you have a good source you'd recommend online/ East coast? Could only imagine the taste of a Bison Ribeye or tenderloin.
Ever since i moved out west. Im all about bison. Its so damn good. Especially on a campfire.
My father and I love love bison burgers. We’re from the East Coast of Canada but we travel a lot to South Dakota and our love for bison meat has brought us believe it or not closer together. My father passed away this February and before he passed all he wanted was one more bison burger, but bison is hard to come by around here. Great content by way as well. Cheers
They sell bison meat at Walmart
Commented for posterity. Cheers.
EDIT: To be honest I didn't think I'd watch the whole thing , but you got me hooked. Before I knew it an hour had passed by and I was remembering my grandfather and father butchering beef and home-grown boars (sorry not english). The historical bit at the end got me by the feels, not gonna lie. Can't wait to see that video you're talking about at the end, about your father and the start of the business. I've had the chance to hunt, kill, butcher and eat all lot of the wild game here in Quebec, I understand the deep meaning in all of this. 2x Cheers my friends
When I was in college I wanted to start a buffalo ranch in Texas to help bring back the American Bison.
wow thats awesome!
You still have time.
This industry will continue to grow. But you obviously need knowledge of it first
@@MatttheButcher I'm 51 and broke and unemployed. Don't see it in my future, but glad you guys are helping.
@@Crakaveli I'm 51 and broke and unemployed. Don't see it in my future, but glad you guys are helping.
The quality of your knives, the sharpness and your knife skills are amazing.
You guys are 100% amazing. I love every single thing you are doing. This is my JAM. I buy meat from my butcher. Not from the floor generally. BUT I want to break down my meat. Cheaper, better, and more my choice. Still, your craft allows me to BBQ as is. And I can cook.
That is awesome!
Really enjoy all your episodes!
Seans contribution to this video was a nice addition. Given the amount of farm shows out there how about some regular episodes regarding the farm side of your operations?
Thanks for your great videos.
Cheers.
PS: Just picked up a six pack of your spices just in time for my son-in-laws birthday. Great gift!
Awesome! Thanks for that, John!
I love bison ribeye. You guys are wizards with those Victorinox.
Bison Ribeye is the bomb 💣
Guys, guys, guys, I don't know where to start , Loved the video , The History of White Feather, the break down and especially the cooking on something I have never seen before ..so where can I get a Bison steak at 11:30 at night ..My mouth is watering..Can't wait for the next one
Bison is by far the best meat I've ever ate in my life.
u should try moose meat
Lol you should try elk meat or mountain goat or even rocky mountain big horn sheep
@@razorramoang5947 I would love to try Moose meat, I would love to hunt moose some day.
@@codysimmonds2944 I would love to try those meats and hunt them all. Maybe some day.
@@stevensteele160 yes , i remember the first time i seen a moose through my scope , i said to myself that looks like a horse ! and i love horses , but i was reminded by my friend .......thats a moose !!! and if you dont shoot its going to disappear . So i shot but missed 😂😒 the next one i seen was , scope , crosshairs , moose down . It has a unique taste , especially the liver and when u ground round for moose burgers . But meat has to be cooled and keep the hair off the meat and flies , The hair has a lot of oil and that oil gives meat a gamey taste , if its not kept off meat . That was my job ........hair picker .
I love how you guys are willing to teach, thanks
I’m not even into these things but my mom is a Somali butcher for Halal meat in the USA so it made me interested. Very interesting channel I’m gonna subscribe
Thumbs up. Who says the internet isn't research. I'm gonna reference this video. These guys show and talk their business and I'm sure not worried about internet gossip. Great job and content.
Grew up in Michigan. Bison was always one of my favorites for stews and roasts. Elk is another great option. Definitely not gamey at all.
If you ever get the chance to eat oryx do so without hesitation. It is simply delicious.
You guys have actually managed to make butchery interesting and cool.That,I think,is a tour de force,and shows how deeply involved and passionate you are about your job.And to make me be interested in butchery,that's quite the feat.Great job guys.
This is the best and most informative video I have seen on butchering so far. The camera has an equal affinity for both brothers. They share an ingrained sense of humility and are "salt of the earth" type of people. I wish you the best in all of your endeavors.
Thank you! We appreciate the kind words.
Slicing those tender, juicy, delicious-looking steaks at the end made me crave a taste for some well-prepped, well-cooked bison! 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
I’ve been eating bison for about as long as you have. I would bet with everything I have I can prepare what 5 different meals with 5 different cuts and no one would know the difference between the 2 critters. I also like the bison for the fact of health reasons. You take that porter house and some roasted vegetables you won’t need anything else. Well done men. Congrats.
I wasn't sure I liked you guys until I watched this one. I absolutely love the education you provide in this. Thank you for show this to 3.07m people. I love the buffalo. It is the only red meet I buy for my children. Thank you.
It’s curious, but here in Britain ground venison (deer) costs as much as a quarter less than the same of beef and yet in the States, ground bison is over twice the cost of your beef! Both deer and bison as we know are nutritionally superior but perhaps the nature of economics of raising and harvesting both these animals play a large part in the final cost!
Beef,Bison and Beards. I need all three.
Guys love what you do, I had both, I'm a beef A1 fan 40 years, running, 🦬 is good, it's my 2nd choice
Recently tried Bison filet side-by-side with Beef filet at Hall's Chophouse in Charleston (one of the best steakhouses in America). Gotta say, the bison was damn good.
This is awesome. We have several bison farms as well as wild herds up here in Alaska. Magnificent animal, wonderful tasting meat.
