New Zealand mobile butcher. I had an unexpected opportunity to watch an expert butcher at work while visiting New Zealand. While visiting a farm nearby, I went for a morning walk and saw the trailer with "Magpie's Home Kill. Call Lee..." I immediately stopped to check it out and asked if I could watch and record? Lee said "go ahead". So I got to watch and record a master butcher at work. Not all of the conversation would be appropriate for every listener, but I enjoyed the experience very much.
So while this topic doesn't appeal to all viewers I found it very interesting and will no doubt watch it myself several more times to improve my own butchering, skinning, and meat cutting skills.
Among the things of interest in this video, my favorites are speed of how easily he cut the legs off, the efficient use of time and effort in every movement, how Lee had his trailer set up was fascinating and very efficient, and my introduction to Victory Knives.

Victory Knives: My regret is that I did not visit the factory in Auckland! I have since researched more and am currently trying to figure out which knives I will be ordering from them.
These knives are possibly the best quality in the world, and according to many butchers across the globe they ARE THE BEST!
See for yourself on their website the vast selection.

They have 2 distributors in the US and one in Canada.

Here is the video when I got my knives!

This video was on the North island near Levin ( I think I have the place right place??- I never did get my directions correct while visiting there)

    My uncles worked in the slaughterhouse across from the bar my mum worked in. They came in every lunch time with meat for my mum, ribs, sirlion,brisket, liver, t bones, you name it. And my mum gave them beer. We were the best fed family in Aberdeen. . Miss you mum. Great days.🙏

    I'm a 68 years young country gal and could watch this all day long.until you have tasted a burger or steak that came from your farm you don't know how good beef really taste.
  • @timtebow4775
    That other angus watching in the background is looking mighty nervous.

    My old man had three butcher shops. This bloke reminded me of him so much. The confidence with each stroke of the knife, the care of his tools, the slick movement around the carcass, yep, that was my Dad all right.

  • @ipman01tuaman60
    This is one of the skills that was mostly needed during the 2020 pandemic in the US and they where starting at $60 an hour during that time. Awesome video and great job to this professional.

    I have been a hobby farmer with only 26acres in Australia for years, and we loved to care for our animals for every day of their lives. There was ONLY one bad day for them. And so it will be for us... we won't know either. Great skills know where your meat comes from, and don't waste any of it.

    Reminds me of the importance of saying grace. So much sacrifice goes into providing the humblest meal. Give Thanks

    I was working on a road works site one day near Putaruru, NZ and watched a home-kill butcher in a paddock shoot, skin and quarter two cows in one hour. He had the support of a hoist on his truck so making the job easier - no bending over too much. Professional guy who knows his job. He waved when he was finished. Unbelievable. Lot of these guys have worked in meatworks throughout NZ and some are hunters who do the same to their catches - deer and pigs. You never lose the trade. My specialty is sheep but this guy just blew me away. Thanks for the video. Awesome.
  • @MRxr400
