America's largest meat industry directory — connecting consumers with quality local meat sources since 2014.
Founded in 2014, Butcher Bud set out with a simple mission: make it easy for Americans to find quality, locally sourced meat. What started as a small project quickly grew into the nation's largest meat industry directory, connecting thousands of consumers with butcher shops, farms, processors, and livestock auctions across all 50 states.
Today, Butcher Bud is the go-to resource for anyone looking to buy quality meat directly from the people who raise and process it. Whether you're searching for a neighborhood butcher shop, a farm offering beef shares, a wild game processor, or a livestock auction near you, Butcher Bud has you covered.
We believe that every community deserves access to quality, locally raised meat — and that the businesses who provide it deserve to be found. Our mission is twofold: help consumers discover the best local meat sources in their area, and help meat industry businesses grow by increasing their visibility online.
From traditional butcher shops and custom processors to beef share farms and wild game ranches, Butcher Bud covers every corner of the American meat industry. We list businesses across multiple categories including butcher shops, deer and wild game processing, beef share farms, whole animal purchase, wild game ranches, livestock auctions, mobile slaughter units, custom knife makers, and more.
Butcher Bud was built with a marketing-first mindset — the idea that great businesses shouldn't stay hidden. The founder's broader work in brand strategy and digital growth can be found at MarkCMO.com. That same philosophy drives Butcher Bud: build something genuinely useful, make it easy to find, and let quality speak for itself.
