Butchers on the History Channel

I see that the History Channel is going to have a show on the world of butchers and meat processing this Thursday at 11 am Central Time. I'll set the DVR to record so I can watch it after work and thought others may want to do the same. Makes me kind of sad because my neighborhood butcher that was just a couple of blocks away closed up shop last month.
Modern Marvels: The Butcher.
In a carnivorous world, a butcher is a necessary link in the food chain, carving a carcass of unsavory flesh into mouthwatering cuts. We trace the grisly trade's evolution--from yesteryear's butcher-on-every-corner to today's industrial butcher working on a "disassembly" line. We tour the infamous remains of the Chicago Stockyards, where Upton Sinclair, Clarence Birdseye, and refrigeration changed butchering forever; witness high-speed butchering; and travel to a non-stop sausage factory. And if you're still squeamish, a USDA inspector offers the lowdown on HACCP--the country's new system of checks and balances on everything from quality grading to E. coli, Salmonella, and Mad Cow Disease. Finally, we visit the last bastion of old-school butchering--the rural custom butcher, who slaughters, eviscerates, skins, and cuts to his customer's wishes

I saw it a few weeks ago. It's a pretty interesting show. I was amazed to learn that when a calf reaches adolescent age, they are sent to a facility where they are fed almost constantly with limited mobility, taking them from approx 800#'s to 1500#'s in 2-3 weeks.

I have one it is 24 inches square and 24 inches deep. It sits on 4 wooden legs and is at waist level.
Love it and would not part with it for thousands of dollars.
It is at least 50 years old..

emilluca,
Hey Thanks for that last comment!
I'll check into that for sure, since we only get 8 channels on a good day.(no cable up here on the mounain!)
And the History channel is NOT one of them!
It does make for more reading and cooking time, however. :laugh:
