The Meat Block

Join Travis and David each week as they discuss all things meat. Travis is a butcher with a strong background in slaughter and retail, as well as sausage and charcuterie production. David is a small-scale intensive farmer; he manages rotationally grazed livestock and butchers them for direct-to consumer-sale. He’s also worked in retail meats and as a chef. They’ve both worked alone on mobile slaughter units, and they both like Waylon Jennings.

INFODavid tells Travis all about meatprocessoracademy.com being put on by www.nichemeatprocessing.orgThe Meat Processor Academy is for processors with 25-150 employees, or if less than 25 you have intentions to grow to that scale in the near future. Ideally we ask that you have at least 2 years of operating experience and be an owner/operator/manager of the business. Course content is geared primarily towards full service inspected and fee-for-service processors, however, further processors and co-packers are also welcome, as well as custom exempt processors that plan to grow into inspection. Up to 500 people may join the course. credits Travis Stockstill David Zarling Producer/audio editingTravis stockstill Contact us atThe Meat BlockTwitter@themeatblockpodhttps://www.instagram.com/themeatblock/Travis https://www.instagram.com/americanbutcher/TravismearStockstill@gmail.comDavid https://www.instagram.com/afarmbutcher/David@infieldontable.com
