Butcher Bud is an online directory of local butcher shops, beef share farms, deer processors, livestock auctions, and other meat businesses in all 50 US states. Search by business name, category, or state to find one near you.
Search Butcher Bud by business name, category, and state with the search bar at the top of this page, or pick your state from the All 50 States list. Each state links to its cities and to category pages such as butcher shops, deer and game processors, beef share farms, livestock auctions, and mobile slaughter services. Every business has its own listing page with the details it has shared, such as its location, phone number, and any ratings on file.
Not every listing is independently verified. Many listings were added from public business sources, and free submissions go live automatically when they pass basic checks: a real business name, a recognized meat or farm category, a valid contact email, and a state. Anything that misses a check is reviewed by a person first. Claims of existing listings are always reviewed by a person, and claimed listings show a Verified badge. Confirm hours, pricing, and services directly with the business before you visit.
Butcher Bud lists butcher shops, deer and wild game processors, beef share farms, whole animal purchase options, wild game ranches, livestock auctions, knives and processing equipment suppliers, meat CSA subscriptions, mobile slaughter services, cold storage and packaging, registered breeders, semen and embryo suppliers, and farm stands. It also has sections for farms for sale and livestock for sale. Use the Browse by Type tiles on this page to open any category.
Use the List Your Business button on this page to submit a free listing. Free listings go live automatically when they pass basic checks: a real business name, a recognized meat or farm category, a valid contact email, and a state. Paid Premium and Featured plans place a listing above free listings on city pages, and the current plan details are shown in the pricing section of this page. If your business is already listed, you can claim it instead, and a person reviews each claim.
Yes. Butcher Bud has a page for every US state, linked in the All 50 States section of this page, and each state page links to its cities and categories. Coverage is uneven: some states have hundreds of listings and others only a handful, depending on which businesses have been added or submitted so far. The city and category pages show exactly what is listed in each area today.
Yes, through the Beef Share Farms category, which lists farms that sell quarter, half, and whole beef directly. Butcher Bud does not have a separate grass-fed filter, so open each farm's listing and ask how the cattle are raised and finished, because practices vary from farm to farm. Meat CSA subscriptions and farm stands are other ways to buy meat directly from local farms.
