Built by hunters, ranchers, and homesteaders — for hunters, ranchers, and homesteaders.
Butcher Bud was founded in 2014 out of a simple frustration: there was no single, reliable place to find butcher shops, deer processors, and farm-direct meat sources across the United States. You could search Google and get inconsistent results, or ask around locally — but there was no comprehensive, organized directory dedicated to the meat and livestock world.
We set out to build that resource — and a decade later, Butcher Bud has grown to cover 14,000+ businesses across all 50 states, spanning every corner of the meat and livestock industry.
From the deer hunter who needs a processor 20 miles from his hunting lease, to the family that wants to buy a whole cow from a farm three counties over, to the rancher searching for a bull semen supplier — Butcher Bud is the place they come to find what they need.
We believe in supporting American farmers, ranchers, butchers, and processors — the people who feed this country and keep traditional food skills alive. Every listing on Butcher Bud is a backlink to a real business, helping those businesses get found by the customers they serve.
We don't take a cut of transactions. We don't add middlemen. We just connect people to the businesses they're looking for, directly and honestly.
Meat Power. That's our tagline, and it means something: the power to know where your food comes from, the power to support local economies, and the power to find exactly what you need, where you are.
