Meat Up With Charlie

This is a point of view experience in the life of a full time meat processor. The purpose of these videos is to educate and inspire individuals to process their own animals and to shine light on a dying art. Farmers and ranchers are a huge part of this country and people need to know the value of their hard work. Meat doesn't grow in a petri dish, its origin began as a living animal, that was raised and hopefully respected/ valued before and after slaughter. This is only a glimpse of what it is to be a butcher. For years people have viewed our trade as cruel and insensitive, instead of the fulfillment of an animals purpose to feed and nurture our loved ones. This job is physically demanding, messy, time consuming, heart retching, and above all worth it. I'm grateful for all the blue collared Americans that keep this country going. Enjoy the videos.
