Treat your family to home-raised… home butchered… home-cooked meat!

We’ve been taught that only someone in a sterile lab coat can be trusted to process meat.

That your chicken, pork, beef and lamb MUST come from a factory, wrapped neatly in plastic and styrofoam.

As Brandon Sheard will happily tell you, that’s simply not true!

People have been raising livestock and processing their own meat for thousands of years, without permission from the grocery store… factory farms… or industrial meat processors. And without knowing the “proper” butchery cuts.

You CAN become a home butcher… giving your animals a good life, and just as importantly, a good death.

That’s what Brandon taught himself to do.

Now, he never buys meat at the grocery store.

And soon, you won’t have to either.

Your Skill Instructor: Brandon Sheard

Hi! I’m Brandon Sheard. Along with my wife, Lauren, and our 8 beautiful kids, I call northeastern Oklahoma home. 

My wife and I started Farmstead Meatsmith in 2010. Since then, we’ve been offering on-farm slaughter and traditional butchery and charcuterie.  

However, I wasn’t born a butcher or even grew up to be one. 

I grew up in suburbia and studied Renaissance English literature. 

I learned this skill because, like you, I wanted to feed my family well. Once I tasted the superior flavor of home-raised, home-butchered meat and realized how much money it would save our family … I knew I couldn’t go back. 

I limited myself to only eating the meat I could raise and butcher myself. I completely stopped buying meat from the store.

I’m proudly self-taught and can’t wait to share this skill with you so you can butcher your animals yourself without any fear or hesitation.
