The Most Complete Meat & Livestock Directory in America

Butcher Bud was built for ranchers, hunters, homesteaders, and anyone who takes their food seriously. Whether you're a deer hunter looking for a reliable processor after opening day, a family that wants to buy a whole cow direct from a farm, or a rancher searching for a livestock auction in your county — we've got you covered in every state.

Our directory goes far beyond basic butcher shop listings. We've tracked down deer and wild game processors, farms that sell beef shares, heritage breed ranches, livestock auction barns, bull semen suppliers, mobile slaughter units, and the craftsmen who make the knives and equipment that make it all possible.

Every listing includes services, contact information, and a direct link to their own website — because we believe in supporting American farm and ranch businesses directly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Select "Deer & Wild Game Processing" from the category dropdown, enter your city or ZIP code, and we'll show every licensed game processor near you. Many listings show whether they're open during hunting season and what species they accept.

Buying a beef share means purchasing a portion of a whole animal — typically a quarter, half, or whole cow — directly from a farm, usually priced by hanging weight. The farm arranges slaughter and a butcher cuts and wraps to your specifications. It's typically more affordable per pound than retail and gives you complete control over cut selection and quality.

Click "List Your Business" in the navigation. Basic listings are free and include your name, location, services, website link, and contact info. Premium and featured listings are available for businesses wanting priority placement and enhanced profiles with photos and more.
