From Dad's recount of his time in the military to the end, I enjoyed Sean, Seth and Scott's story of how everyone has contributed to a successful, family-owned and operated business. God Bless America!
My Dad was in Vietnam and was a Purple Heart recipient. He passed away in February, it was nice to hear your dads story, and I am glad he made it back mostly in tact...
If this man doesn't make you want to be a better American, than I don't know what will... I was truly entranced by his story telling. His military recollection is spot on. As a former Infantryman myself, (Desert Storm Vet) I get the things that he says. His revelation to God is just...inspiring. "The Lord knows I'm thinkheaded." What an amazing family story. Very well produced. God is good.
Wow, I love this story, and your videos just recently popped up on my CZcams feed, I am so glad...I love the fact that you are Christian and I commend you all for not hiding that..I will continue to watch your videos
The Perkins Family is AMAZING! This video really moved me. I laughed out loud and teared up in spots. What a story! Your Dad is a true legend. (I see now so much of him in Seth.) I plan to visit the next time I pass through; I’m up in Buffalo, NY, and not too far away. Family is Everything!!
Living the American dream thru hard work and determination. I needed to watch this. Very inspiring. 46 years old and I’m at work right now while my family is at our Church family camp weekend. Time to restructure a few things and start living my own Canadian dream and be with my family more. Thanks guys.
Thank you for your background and history. I understand the hard work and devotion, I was 55 when I started my business two years ago. I also thank God everyday for my blessings. I have run into the same issue with getting a steer processed this year. I took what I could get and l had a cold hanging weight of 576 pounds according to the butcher. I ask for very minimum burger and ended up with 165 pounds of steaks and misc cutts and 220 pounds of burger. So with that said I will be using your video next fall to process my own beef. Im going to try and get a hanging cooler built over the summer. Because I am a loyal watcher of your videos and I tell everyone to watch them, I now think a couple of my buddies are willing to try processing their own beef. You guys are an inspiration to me and a lot of my friends. Keep up the good work and God bless you all.
Great idea to record your father’s life. You’ll definitely be thankful for the memories when God calls him home. Wish I had done the same before my father passed.
This is our family now. We are 5 years into a mobile poultry processing business. I have learned so much about myself, my family, and my employees. Amazing story that I'm sharing with my family.
Thank you for sharing your history! As a Christian myself I was blown away by your dad’s story from being in the Vietnam war and how he turned his life around. I usually don’t watch a video on CZcams that long, but your father’s story really got me glued to the T.V. and really strengthened my faith and inspired me to stay the course! Thanks again guys for the video and God bless your family! Aloha! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
These were the young men that fought for our all the freedoms we have today, many did not make it home and the ones that did THANK YOU! Most of them came from humble beginnings and most of our hero's came from working class families. Thank God for men like you, I will forever be in awe of the sacrifices you gave to our county. GOD BLESS!
Y’all need to make a series on the history of your family’s brands. It’s 0215 here in Germany and I have to wake up in 5 hrs to get ready for church. I was glued to this entire video. Not sure how awake I’ll be at church, but I thoroughly enjoyed watching ever second of this video. I subscribed in the late spring of last year while waiting to be cleared to move to Germany for the USAF and have enjoyed watching y’all teach how to butcher animals and the different cuts and ideas of cooking meats. I definitely have been inspired by watching your videos here on CZcams. Keep up the good work and I hope to come check out the store when I move back to the states.
@@matty6848 to be honest, I don’t remember if I did that morning because I work night shift and trying to fall asleep when you’re used to being awake so late is hard. I will say that when I haven’t overslept my alarm and made it to church, I haven’t fallen asleep during the service.
@@matty6848 I’ve worked so many different shifts over the past 16 years that I’ll be really happy when I retire and can work a job that will rarely be done on nights.
This is an ancestry to be very proud of. Thank you for your service. And thank you for being able to share your life story with us. That takes real courage. God Bless You. Some in my family never came back. It hurts and angers me when folks disrespect our flag.
I watched from beginning to end and am amazed at what your family has accomplished. Your dad’s background story is very similar to my dad who fought as a south Vietnamese swift boat captain. During times of extreme hardships they both were brought closer to their faith in god and has instilled that onto all their children. I hunt and your first deer processing video was what led me to start following you. Thank you for sharing your family story with us. Good luck in 2021 and beyond! 🙏
I've been watching the Bearded Butcher for sometime now and like it. After watching this it brought to me a 'Warm Family Feeling' . Keep it up Perkins Family
Great testimony of the obedience of following the Lord when He opens the doors of opportunity and the visions He gives for the future. Great video guys!
My Grandfather was Clarence Perkins from South of Barnesville....who also farmed and worked construction and was also a descendant of Reuben. Especially seeing the young Fred picture....I'll guarantee we're related. I was born and raised in Bethesda on a dairy farm....and we also had stray voltage in the 80's.
wow, what an amazing journey and a legacy! ...... this is how you live life, never give up and take life by the horns and kick its but!!! Thank you for sharing this journey with us. 💙💙💙💙
Your dad's story completely captured my attention. I'm a little younger than you guys, but this reminds me of what the American dream is all about and why I am raising my children to believe in that dream. Thank you for your service. God bless you all and thank you for sharing your story.
I wake up every morning and walk outside because of you sir, I get to drive to and home from work because of you sir, I held my baby girl and hug her now because of you sir. I am free to live my life the way I want, thank you for your service sir.
Great story Shawn, Seth, and Scott. Your father is an amazing man that I could sit and listen to his stories for hours. Having met all three of you in person because I live locally, your videos don't show how genuine you you three are. Glad to be a customer of Whitefeather Meats and the Bearded Butcher's Blends and Sauce's.
Dear God, thank you for these men and their families, and their mother and father, for giving them to us. Gentlemen, thank you for sharing. We love it and pray nothing but continued success. God Bless you all!
What a wonderful video. The whole thing could have been a Netflix documentary. Your father's history, well... you're whole history is inspiring. This is why people love watching your videos. Very well done!
watched this in its intirety truely awesome family story. Thank you Fred and Bunny for your service and sacrafices. your work ethic and perseverence shows in your children and this multi generational success
@@TheBeardedButchers i just ordered some of the original seasoning and i have a meeting up north here in 2 weeks. Im going to try to make a detour on my way home to get some bison products from your store. I wish there was a way to order it but you guys would never get any sleep (if you get any at all with your work pace) if you online retailed the meat too lol!
I have to confess, I really started watching with the intention of skipping forward to the more interesting segments. But once it started I got locked in and couldn’t make myself do it. I watched every minute. Your dads an amazing man with an extraordinary background. It is extremely rare to find a family that is as tight knot as yours and I’m sure it is so wonderful especially during Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. I do have a question also. As I was listening I couldn’t help but wonder if y’all have ever tried Bison bacon? I just thought about it when you were saying how good the taste of bison was. I’m sure it would probably cover a plate but it would probably be delicious. By the way, my wife mentioned 3 or 4 times, “whatever you’re watching must be interesting!”. Thanks guys for making my day.
As a chef and a trained pastor, I have been discovering your various content and really enjoy y'all. I have learned heaps and really love your values. Praise God for your faith and your commitment to Christ. God bless.
This video is beyond awesome I watched the entire 2 hours and enjoyed every second of hear the great success story. Congrats to your entire family for putting in the hard work and building your America dream brick by brick this is what this county is all about. Struggles yes, the light at the end of the tunnel always shows when you know God will not let you fail!
Beautiful. Respect to you Perkins family. I praise God for men like you not ashamed of mentioning Him in your story. May He bless you all and may you all remember each day that He is with you and in control!
I could listen to his war stories all day long. I wish I had someone in my family with these types of stories. Thank you for your service sir and glad you made it back home.
Thank you for sharing this. I am a master parachutes who served at Fort Bragg between 1972 and 1978. Many of my friends were Vietnam Combat veterans. I get it. Only on one occasion did one share a combat experience, He was a Silver Star recipient. We were fishing buddies doing an all nighter's on the Cape Fear River. We were tired and he felt inclined to share the events of the night he earned the silver star. I GET IT! I've been a subscriber for several years. Your dad is my hero!
This is such an amazing story. Your father is a true American Hero. As a veteran myself, your fathers story really put life into perspective all over again for me. You guys are amazing, god bless you all!
What a great story! I can't count the number of times you guys talked about Family and God and American values and hard ass work. And your Dad! I was a very young Combat Assault Helicopter Pilot in Vietnam and had the honor to serve with heroes like your Dad. Sadly had to medevac too many of them. Great videos, thank you!!
After watching the entire video, this is by far the best video I've ever seen online. Stand for your Faith Stand for your Values Stand Together Be Blessed
What an incredible story! I'm glad that you and your family had the fortitude to trek through all of the ups and downs that your business has gone through. Also a great story on the whitefeather portion as well, it truly means a lot since I am a Native American myself. Congratulations again to the entire family for this remarkable achievement. Ya'll deserve it!
Kudos and compliments to you all. Its so nice to hear how you compliment the grace of God in all that you do. America is in so much decline due to the lack of faith that it once had. I say this as a Jew who is happy and proud to be a Jew. May Hashem be with you all in good health.
This Was Great And I Didn't Realize You're So Close To Some Of My Family In Ohio Until I Heard Your Father Talking About Barberton , And Wooster Was Mentioned And Of Course Akron ! I Love The People Around There ! Unfortunately My Cousin Sandra Fowler Passed Away A Couple Years Ago From Severe Respiratory Problems ! David Fowler Has A 3rd Generation Well Drilling And Water Softener Business In Akron Area , They Are Distant Family Of Ours And Have Always Treated Us Fabulously When We Could Make It Up From Alabama To Visit ! I Love Your U-TUBE Videos And Everything You And Your Family Have Accomplished ! I Can't Wait To Try Out Your Seasoning Blends ! Thanks For Sharing Your Lives With Us And Teaching Us ! Hope All Of You Have A Wonderful Day/Life ! 🥰🥰🥰💯💯💯
I just watched this video of this great American family. The story of the brothers father being wounded in an ambush in Vietnam was so vivid and really touched me because my older brother was killed in an ambush in Nam almost exactly the same way and by the stupidity of a inexperienced Marine Corps lieutenant who had no sense . So as I watched I couldn’t help but reflect on those years and the fact he was wounded in his ninth month of his tour as was my brother KIA in his ninth and he too was a hardcore biker as well. Rick, his name didn’t make it but thank goodness the father of these great men survived and built this awesome business with his sons and his faith.
You young fellows are blessed because your father and mother instilled in you a love for Christ. I retired as a meatcutter for Kroger preceded by 5 years on the kill floor followed by 5 years on the processing floor at Cargill's plant in Schuyler, Nebraska. I really enjoy your videos and wish you all continued success in your business. May the Lord continue to bless your future endeavors.
such a great idea to document your family history and document stories that your kids and grandkids will have forever. Thank you for sharing your stories!
Him talking about his service in vietnam the look in his eyes tells it all. My grandfather was a telecommunication scout in vietnam and once I became old enough I followed my dream as a 4 yr old kid of serving and served in OIF/OEF. Sir thank you for your service and Welcome home soldier.
I worked 2 years at Carle's Bratwurst in Bucyrus, Ohio as the meat cutter 10 years ago. Knew nothing going in and after watching all your videos, i can't imagine how much work you guys do. Much respect and you deserve everything. I'll never forget that job. Learned so much.
I love listening to the old timers, war stories. My kids know all of their grandpa's Vietnam war stories and their great-grandpa's WW2 era stories. Yeah he's 95 & still kicking 🙏🤙🤙🤙🇺🇸
Wow great storys man. my Dad was a vet he passed in 2016. bone cancer you guys are the kind of people i can hang out with anyday. i have to get a hat a shirt and a cup. i do alot of BBQ when i can. i make my own rubs. and my own sauce. i did get your 3 pack yesterday. original,black,butter. use killer hogs alot. so can't wait to try it. send me a box ill send a jar of my sauce. your dad had some great storys. i buddy ex army maine guide now. and well know youtube woodsman. told me about you guys. i am in Pa and am going to be spending alot of the winter months. watching your videos. i dont hunt dad was not the best of dads. and step dad dont hunt. so never got the chance really. 47 thanksgiving so maybe next year. i loved the storys.thank you guys so much for what you do.
Amazing testimony Brothers, I love you give the Glory to God. A few times in this awesome e video the holy spirit hit me and I had to hold back some man tears. I grew up in Marshallville Ohio and lived just up the street from The Marshallville Meat Market and can really understand where you come from about how hard it is to be a butcher. I used to see the Tucker boys drag butt at the end of the day. Glad I stayed in the concrete and masonry trade becuse I couldn't of did the long hard days of butchering. Just doing my own hogs,deer and elk is more than I can handle and this year I plan on doing my own chickens from chick's to harvest. I sure could use any tips Y'all have on chicken butchering of about30 chickens a year. Keep up the amazing work and God bless you all. P.S. thank your father for his service for me and my wife.
(Sorry so long but) I was cleaning the kitchen late after waking up from dozing off watch BBB! I didn’t know what I was hearing but the brothers weren’t cutting meat anymore. Well once I came in I see this man in a rocking chair, recounting life. I couldn’t stop watching. Reminds (I’m at that part where he said I poured my heart out the LORD.) sitting listening to my Papa tell me stories. We need THIS! This is what will heal our land…. If we who are called by His name would humble ourselves and pray turn from our wicked ways and seek His face HE will hear us from heaven forgive us our sin and heal our land. Did you catch what happened with the stray voltage how’d they find the solution…. Thank you so so much for this! Y’all keep on keeping on! By the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony!
As I watch this; for the second time today because my husband and I wanted our adult son to see it, I need to tell you what I told them. You and your children are blessed for many reasons. The one I am referring to right not is that you all have a wonderful recording of your family story. My father and father-in-law were WW-II Veterans, my brother was a Vietnam Veteran, and my husband spent 26 years in the Army National Guard. We don’t have their military stories, or many of their childhood stories. I hope all of you will enjoy this as much as the rest of us have. Thank you so much! From your Canton, Ohio neighbor.
#1, Thank You Fred Perkins, for your Service to this Country! As a US NAVY DISABLED VETERAN, I applaud you Sir. "All gave some, Some gave All".#2, I am impressed by your courage to turn your life to God, It was the Right decision..#3, This video was well done, and a joy to watch. I've eaten your beef, It's FANTASTIC!! (You shipped it to me in Minnesota) I will be ordering more, (and your seasonings are GREAT!!) Thank You all!
What a great video!! Mr. Perkins thank you for your service and sacrifice for this great nation! I became a subscriber to the Bearded Butchers CZcams channel right after I purchased my first smoker (Traeger) while looking for tips and tricks for smoking meat. I think I have watched every video and some numerous times. I'm about 90 miles away and plan on making a trip to your shop to purchase some seasonings & spices. Thanks for all the great videos!!!
Okay guys. Wow! The last thing I thought I would be doing on this Mothers Day was spending two hours watching a CZcams video. I had just wrapped up having my own little church service this morning with Tali girl. I picked up my phone to respond to a couple of comments made on my channel when somehow this video came across my feed. I don’t even remember clicking the play button. The next thing I knew. There was your Dad sitting at the table. The first thing I noticed was the Bible setting there. It looked so much like my own well worn and tattered Bible. Then I began to listen. I suspect your Dad and I are pretty close to the same age. I am coming up on 72. The more I watched, the more I was drawn into the story. I thought I would just watch the rest later because I had my own editing to do before I headed out to cook Mothers Day dinner for my nearly 95 year young Mom. But I couldn’t stop watching your history. All I have to say at this point is this is perhaps the most inspiring story I have ever heard told here on CZcams! I was also especially appreciative of the fact that all of you proudly and profoundly proclaimed your faith in our Lord God Almighty and the redemption found at the foot of the Cross. Your success has been born out of hard work, determination, and true grit no doubt. But I know, you know that it was Devine inspiration and blessing that has brought it all together. Thank You All so much for what you do! I am so happy I have found your channel and have met the Perkins family here on CZcams! May God continue to Bless you all!
I have started watching your videos this week and this history does to show how blessed and inspirational you all are. I am blown away after watching this and now I will watch your other videos with a true appreciation for what you have had to go through. You guys are the BEST and you really deserve to smile every time on camera - well done!
My dad was in the 82seacind airborne around that time I am not sure exactly what years I wasn’t born yet. I’ve just started watching you over the last few months and I’ve learned so much in that short time thank you so much for your videos and hats off to your dad and thank you for your service
@@TheBeardedButchers you see in my picture I'm processing a deer. I have you guys to thank for that. I learned from your videos and instruction. Thank you. God bless
My husband and I recently found you on CZcams and love watching you. LOVE you are believers and give God the glory for your success. You are a wonderful family.
Nothing like a family working together with there dad as there inspiration I know it’s almost a 2 hour video 32k views is not enough people need to watch this. I’m Not a big spice guy I only use salt and cayenne pepper but I’m going to give the bearded butcher spice a try to support this great family Business hopefully the third generation will appreciate the hard work that went into this family Business and carry on.
This is the longest CZcams I have ever watched. It seemed to be about 30 minutes not almost 2 hrs. and I enjoyed every minute . Your Dad was an inspiration and left you brothers with a priceless legacy. Thank you for sharing your life and business.
Oh man oh man! Those home videos are so priceless! Perkins Fam, you are so blessed with such a warm history and thank you so much for sharing it with us! I cherish every moment and every word! ♥️
Thank you for sharing this. Loved hearing old heads (your dad) talk about the old days. Also big big thanks to you all for the instructional videos. I watched a few channels when I started hunting 2 years ago but your super in depth butcher videos helped me basically self teach (with a little guidance from a friend) myself how to completely butcher my kills. I have never brought a kill to a butcher still to this day.
I am a new subscriber. This is one of the most inspiring family histories I have had the pleasure of listening to. I watch you all butching and cutting meat, and I can't get enough! I am amazed with your skill and attention to every detail and knowledge you all have. There is no doubt that your families tough times and challenges have made you all better people in every way. Thanks for sharing.
So proud of all you. Being self-employed for over 34 years I know how difficult it can be to run your own business. Thank you for sharing your history. Referring you to everyone I know!
To the person who referred to Freddie’s answer from God as a “fairy tale”, make no mistake, it was no fairy tale! The event was witnessed by his best friend and truly a direct answer from the Lord to Freddie’s prayer! The evidence is a changed and repentant life, and I should know, I am his wife! I pray you seek the Lord while He may be found, because Jesus Christ is the only way, the truth and the life; He is the only way to God! Acts 4:12 🕊
God's Word is Truth, Jesus is the only way to Heaven. They call it a fairy tale because there is no Truth(God) in them.Praying for the lost souls to accept Jesus. Amen
Thank you for telling your heartfelt story! It’s encouraging and inspiring to see you working as a family unit and relying fully on our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Thank you for sharing your, your family's, and your company's history/story. Fascinating and inspiring. Spencer's expertise with the videography continues to make you, your company, and your products take front and center. He does phenomenal work!
I just found you guys last week!! I’m 61 years old this month- Father of four 2 boys&two girls- my back ground is Law Enforcement- Butcher-Oilfilled sales- Grandfather of six with a new grandson last night- Okie- me and my wife are building our own home on an 80 with a 20 acre pond in the middle of nowhere is called Oakwood Oklahoma! I know i’ll probably never get to meet you! But if I did it will be an honor to call you Men my Friend- God bless you your family your business- and praise God you’re not afraid to show your faith❤️
To All the Perkins Family - Thanks so much for sharing all of this with us.
Yes, thank you!
AGREED 💕🙏🙏

Just imagine how important this will be to your grandsons and their grandsons.... Thank you for uploading this.
@Dyanosis Why assume it wont? If that's the case whats the point of your comment. ~"Big assumption that someone even reads it."~
My Dad was in Vietnam and was a Purple Heart recipient. He passed away in February, it was nice to hear your dads story, and I am glad he made it back mostly in tact...
I'm so sorry to hear about your dad, Steve. We offer you our sincerest condolences.
This is way better than anything on cable TV.
We have a TV in our living room. Not sure what it's for anymore.
I watch fishing / hunting & hockey the rest is 💩 71+ 🇨🇦 hunter expat
Yes !Gave up on TV completely. Spend my time on CZcams
@Anifco67 no he is not.. and he is correct. this was great viewing.
Amen
If this man doesn't make you want to be a better American, than I don't know what will... I was truly entranced by his story telling. His military recollection is spot on.

I plan to visit the next time I pass through; I’m up in Buffalo, NY, and not too far away.
Family is Everything!!
So glad, James!

Please do!
Your story allows our forefathers to rest in their graves for the cost they paid for America’s sake
How beautiful is the History of the great American. Thank you Dad for sharing your story and history with us.
This is an ancestry to be very proud of. Thank you for your service. And thank you for being able to share your life story with us. That takes real courage. God Bless You. Some in my family never came back. It hurts and angers me when folks disrespect our flag.

Truly inspiring family story. Cheers Scott, Seth, Sean and Fred. Greetings from New Zealand!
I loved listening to your dad tell stories he reminds me of my grandfather how he told stories. Great video guys!!👍
I'm sure your grandpa has shared such fond memories with you as well! 🤗
My Grandfather was Clarence Perkins from South of Barnesville....who also farmed and worked construction and was also a descendant of Reuben. Especially seeing the young Fred picture....I'll guarantee we're related. I was born and raised in Bethesda on a dairy farm....and we also had stray voltage in the 80's.
I have always enjoyed hearing stories of what life was like for the elders. My oldest brother also served in Nam. Thank you for your service sir!
wow, what an amazing journey and a legacy! ...... this is how you live life, never give up and take life by the horns and kick its but!!! Thank you for sharing this journey with us. 💙💙💙💙
We're glad to share our journey with you, and we really appreciate you watching!
What a great story. Your Dads a great strong man of God
Your dad's story completely captured my attention. I'm a little younger than you guys, but this reminds me of what the American dream is all about and why I am raising my children to believe in that dream. Thank you for your service. God bless you all and thank you for sharing your story.
Thoroughly enjoyed watching the history of the bearded butchers. God bless you all.
Thank you for watching our story!
I wake up every morning and walk outside because of you sir, I get to drive to and home from work because of you sir, I held my baby girl and hug her now because of you sir. I am free to live my life the way I want, thank you for your service sir.
So nice of you! Thank you!
Great story Shawn, Seth, and Scott. Your father is an amazing man that I could sit and listen to his stories for hours. Having met all three of you in person because I live locally, your videos don't show how genuine you you three are. Glad to be a customer of Whitefeather Meats and the Bearded Butcher's Blends and Sauce's.
Reminds me of my grandfather and my father. Hard work and perseverance sets foundation for generations. Thank you!
In these times we all need more stories like yours to be told. We all have them just not being told. Love it guys.
Totally agree with you, Lawrence!
So dang nice to see REAL MEN of our blessed country! Your family is awesome. May the LORD continue to bless Y'all
Dear God, thank you for these men and their families, and their mother and father, for giving them to us. Gentlemen, thank you for sharing. We love it and pray nothing but continued success. God Bless you all!
Wow, thank you! 🙏
What a wonderful video. The whole thing could have been a Netflix documentary. Your father's history, well... you're whole history is inspiring. This is why people love watching your videos. Very well done!
watched this in its intirety truely awesome family story. Thank you Fred and Bunny for your service and sacrafices. your work ethic and perseverence shows in your children and this multi generational success
We highly appreciate this! ♥
@@TheBeardedButchers i just ordered some of the original seasoning and i have a meeting up north here in 2 weeks. Im going to try to make a detour on my way home to get some bison products from your store. I wish there was a way to order it but you guys would never get any sleep (if you get any at all with your work pace) if you online retailed the meat too lol!
I have to confess, I really started watching with the intention of skipping forward to the more interesting segments. But once it started I got locked in and couldn’t make myself do it. I watched every minute. Your dads an amazing man with an extraordinary background. It is extremely rare to find a family that is as tight knot as yours and I’m sure it is so wonderful especially during Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.
I do have a question also. As I was listening I couldn’t help but wonder if y’all have ever tried Bison bacon? I just thought about it when you were saying how good the taste of bison was. I’m sure it would probably cover a plate but it would probably be delicious. By the way, my wife mentioned 3 or 4 times, “whatever you’re watching must be interesting!”. Thanks guys for making my day.
Thanks for sticking all throughout the video!
As a chef and a trained pastor, I have been discovering your various content and really enjoy y'all. I have learned heaps and really love your values. Praise God for your faith and your commitment to Christ. God bless.
This video is beyond awesome I watched the entire 2 hours and enjoyed every second of hear the great success story. Congrats to your entire family for putting in the hard work and building your America dream brick by brick this is what this county is all about. Struggles yes, the light at the end of the tunnel always shows when you know God will not let you fail!
Beautiful. Respect to you Perkins family. I praise God for men like you not ashamed of mentioning Him in your story. May He bless you all and may you all remember each day that He is with you and in control!
Cheers!
This was so cool to watch. The true history of the bearded butchers.
I love picturing the one eyed man and the blind mule out delivering the mail everyday 😊
I could listen to his war stories all day long. I wish I had someone in my family with these types of stories. Thank you for your service sir and glad you made it back home.
Thank you for sharing this. I am a master parachutes who served at Fort Bragg between 1972 and 1978. Many of my friends were Vietnam Combat veterans. I get it. Only on one occasion did one share a combat experience, He was a Silver Star recipient. We were fishing buddies doing an all nighter's on the Cape Fear River. We were tired and he felt inclined to share the events of the night he earned the silver star. I GET IT! I've been a subscriber for several years. Your dad is my hero!
This is such an amazing story. Your father is a true American Hero. As a veteran myself, your fathers story really put life into perspective all over again for me. You guys are amazing, god bless you all!
What a great story! I can't count the number of times you guys talked about Family and God and American values and hard ass work. And your Dad! I was a very young Combat Assault Helicopter Pilot in Vietnam and had the honor to serve with heroes like your Dad. Sadly had to medevac too many of them. Great videos, thank you!!
Thank you 🙏
After watching the entire video, this is by far the best video I've ever seen online.
Stand for your Faith
Stand for your Values
Stand Together
Be Blessed
Freddie, you are a true hero. I’m so glad we had the privilege to know you and Bunny. God Bless You Stephanie and Ed Gifford.
“ I was just thinking about Ed & Stephanie the other day! What a sweet thing to say. I just love that!”
-Bunny
What an incredible story! I'm glad that you and your family had the fortitude to trek through all of the ups and downs that your business has gone through. Also a great story on the whitefeather portion as well, it truly means a lot since I am a Native American myself. Congratulations again to the entire family for this remarkable achievement. Ya'll deserve it!
You guys are great! Thank your dad for his services!!!!!! From ky.
Kudos and compliments to you all. Its so nice to hear how you compliment the grace of God in all that you do. America is in so much decline due to the lack of faith that it once had. I say this as a Jew who is happy and proud to be a Jew. May Hashem be with you all in good health.
This Was Great And I Didn't Realize You're So Close To Some Of My Family In Ohio Until I Heard Your Father Talking About Barberton , And Wooster Was Mentioned And Of Course Akron ! I Love The People Around There ! Unfortunately My Cousin Sandra Fowler Passed Away A Couple Years Ago From Severe Respiratory Problems ! David Fowler Has A 3rd Generation Well Drilling And Water Softener Business In Akron Area , They Are Distant Family Of Ours And Have Always Treated Us Fabulously When We Could Make It Up From Alabama To Visit ! I Love Your U-TUBE Videos And Everything You And Your Family Have Accomplished ! I Can't Wait To Try Out Your Seasoning Blends ! Thanks For Sharing Your Lives With Us And Teaching Us ! Hope All Of You Have A Wonderful Day/Life ! 🥰🥰🥰💯💯💯
Wow ! What an amazing testimony , reminded me of the Old Testament story of Jacob wrestling with an angel . Thanks for sharing !
I could listen to him and Bunny all day with their stories and life. Thanks for sharing yalls life. GOD is GOOD
I just watched this video of this great American family. The story of the brothers father being wounded in an ambush in Vietnam was so vivid and really touched me because my older brother was killed in an ambush in Nam almost exactly the same way and by the stupidity of a inexperienced Marine Corps lieutenant who had no sense . So as I watched I couldn’t help but reflect on those years and the fact he was wounded in his ninth month of his tour as was my brother KIA in his ninth and he too was a hardcore biker as well. Rick, his name didn’t make it but thank goodness the father of these great men survived and built this awesome business with his sons and his faith.
You young fellows are blessed because your father and mother instilled in you a love for Christ.
I retired as a meatcutter for Kroger preceded by 5 years on the kill floor followed by 5 years on the processing floor at Cargill's plant in Schuyler, Nebraska. I really enjoy your videos and wish you all continued success in your business. May the Lord continue to bless your future endeavors.
such a great idea to document your family history and document stories that your kids and grandkids will have forever. Thank you for sharing your stories!
Him talking about his service in vietnam the look in his eyes tells it all. My grandfather was a telecommunication scout in vietnam and once I became old enough I followed my dream as a 4 yr old kid of serving and served in OIF/OEF. Sir thank you for your service and Welcome home soldier.
I worked 2 years at Carle's Bratwurst in Bucyrus, Ohio as the meat cutter 10 years ago. Knew nothing going in and after watching all your videos, i can't imagine how much work you guys do. Much respect and you deserve everything. I'll never forget that job. Learned so much.
Thank you so much for sharing it with us, and also for your really kind words!
Hello from Galion!
Carle's has the best brats!
I am only 12 min in and my allergies are kicking in. this is why we are Americans. I will always remember the sacrifices!
Absolutely incredible life. Absolutely well read Sir. You have my 110 . I salute you 🇨🇦
I love listening to the old timers, war stories. My kids know all of their grandpa's Vietnam war stories and their great-grandpa's WW2 era stories. Yeah he's 95 & still kicking 🙏🤙🤙🤙🇺🇸
Old, real war stories are the best!
Man, Perkins, Sr. What a moving life you've shared with and for us! God Bless you, Sir, and Thank You for your Service! ... Tears in my eyes... ❤
Thank you kindly
Fantastic story, God bless! Sounds like your father paid in blood and service, bless him, and the "glue," mom.

Amazing testimony Brothers, I love you give the Glory to God. A few times in this awesome e video the holy spirit hit me and I had to hold back some man tears. I grew up in Marshallville Ohio and lived just up the street from The Marshallville Meat Market and can really understand where you come from about how hard it is to be a butcher. I used to see the Tucker boys drag butt at the end of the day. Glad I stayed in the concrete and masonry trade becuse I couldn't of did the long hard days of butchering. Just doing my own hogs,deer and elk is more than I can handle and this year I plan on doing my own chickens from chick's to harvest. I sure could use any tips Y'all have on chicken butchering of about30 chickens a year.
Keep up the amazing work and God bless you all.
P.S. thank your father for his service for me and my wife.
Means a lot, Rodney! God bless you!
(Sorry so long but) I was cleaning the kitchen late after waking up from dozing off watch BBB! I didn’t know what I was hearing but the brothers weren’t cutting meat anymore. Well once I came in I see this man in a rocking chair, recounting life. I couldn’t stop watching. Reminds (I’m at that part where he said I poured my heart out the LORD.) sitting listening to my Papa tell me stories. We need THIS! This is what will heal our land…. If we who are called by His name would humble ourselves and pray turn from our wicked ways and seek His face HE will hear us from heaven forgive us our sin and heal our land. Did you catch what happened with the stray voltage how’d they find the solution…. Thank you so so much for this! Y’all keep on keeping on! By the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony!
Proud of you pops!! You & my pops would difently see eye to eye on a lot, the lessons we learn, especially when they come hard!!
That's so cool to hear! 💯
As I watch this; for the second time today because my husband and I wanted our adult son to see it, I need to tell you what I told them. You and your children are blessed for many reasons. The one I am referring to right not is that you all have a wonderful recording of your family story. My father and father-in-law were WW-II Veterans, my brother was a Vietnam Veteran, and my husband spent 26 years in the Army National Guard. We don’t have their military stories, or many of their childhood stories. I hope all of you will enjoy this as much as the rest of us have. Thank you so much! From your Canton, Ohio neighbor.
#1, Thank You Fred Perkins, for your Service to this Country! As a US NAVY DISABLED VETERAN, I applaud you Sir. "All gave some, Some gave All".#2, I am impressed by your courage to turn your life to God, It was the Right decision..#3, This video was well done, and a joy to watch. I've eaten your beef, It's FANTASTIC!! (You shipped it to me in Minnesota) I will be ordering more, (and your seasonings are GREAT!!) Thank You all!
What a great video!! Mr. Perkins thank you for your service and sacrifice for this great nation! I became a subscriber to the Bearded Butchers CZcams channel right after I purchased my first smoker (Traeger) while looking for tips and tricks for smoking meat. I think I have watched every video and some numerous times. I'm about 90 miles away and plan on making a trip to your shop to purchase some seasonings & spices. Thanks for all the great videos!!!
Wow, thank you so much for this!
Great story guys. I also like the instruction videos you do. Keep them coming thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Okay guys. Wow! The last thing I thought I would be doing on this Mothers Day was spending two hours watching a CZcams video. I had just wrapped up having my own little church service this morning with Tali girl. I picked up my phone to respond to a couple of comments made on my channel when somehow this video came across my feed. I don’t even remember clicking the play button. The next thing I knew. There was your Dad sitting at the table. The first thing I noticed was the Bible setting there. It looked so much like my own well worn and tattered Bible. Then I began to listen. I suspect your Dad and I are pretty close to the same age. I am coming up on 72. The more I watched, the more I was drawn into the story. I thought I would just watch the rest later because I had my own editing to do before I headed out to cook Mothers Day dinner for my nearly 95 year young Mom. But I couldn’t stop watching your history. All I have to say at this point is this is perhaps the most inspiring story I have ever heard told here on CZcams! I was also especially appreciative of the fact that all of you proudly and profoundly proclaimed your faith in our Lord God Almighty and the redemption found at the foot of the Cross. Your success has been born out of hard work, determination, and true grit no doubt. But I know, you know that it was Devine inspiration and blessing that has brought it all together. Thank You All so much for what you do! I am so happy I have found your channel and have met the Perkins family here on CZcams! May God continue to Bless you all!
I have started watching your videos this week and this history does to show how blessed and inspirational you all are.
I am blown away after watching this and now I will watch your other videos with a true appreciation for what you have had to go through.
You guys are the BEST and you really deserve to smile every time on camera - well done!
My dad was in the 82seacind airborne around that time I am not sure exactly what years I wasn’t born yet. I’ve just started watching you over the last few months and I’ve learned so much in that short time thank you so much for your videos and hats off to your dad and thank you for your service
Such a great American story. Thank you for sharing this. Was totally awesome to see where the bearded butchers came from
So happy you enjoyed it, Tim!
@@TheBeardedButchers you see in my picture I'm processing a deer. I have you guys to thank for that. I learned from your videos and instruction. Thank you. God bless
My husband and I recently found you on CZcams and love watching you.
LOVE you are believers and give God the glory for your success.
You are a wonderful family.
Thanks for subbing, Rebecca! Hope our videos can help you and your husband!
Nothing like a family working together with there dad as there inspiration I know it’s almost a 2 hour video 32k views is not enough people need to watch this. I’m Not a big spice guy I only use salt and cayenne pepper but I’m going to give the bearded butcher spice a try to support this great family Business hopefully the third generation will appreciate the hard work that went into this family Business and carry on.
This is the longest CZcams I have ever watched. It seemed to be about 30 minutes not almost 2 hrs. and I enjoyed every minute . Your Dad was an inspiration and left you brothers with a priceless legacy. Thank you for sharing your life and business.
Oh man oh man! Those home videos are so priceless! Perkins Fam, you are so blessed with such a warm history and thank you so much for sharing it with us! I cherish every moment and every word! ♥️
You are so kind, thank you!
Thank you for sharing this. Loved hearing old heads (your dad) talk about the old days.
Also big big thanks to you all for the instructional videos. I watched a few channels when I started hunting 2 years ago but your super in depth butcher videos helped me basically self teach (with a little guidance from a friend) myself how to completely butcher my kills. I have never brought a kill to a butcher still to this day.
All's I got to say is..."THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE"!!!
Much appreciated!
Fascinating story thank you so much for telling us when and where you got started.
Your dad is a TREASURE. And what a Legacy you have. Congrats to you!!!!!!!! Faith over Fear always.
Thanks for sharing that awesome story! Way better than anything on TV!
Wow, thanks!
I am a new subscriber. This is one of the most inspiring family histories I have had the pleasure of listening to. I watch you all butching and cutting meat, and I can't get enough! I am amazed with your skill and attention to every detail and knowledge you all have. There is no doubt that your families tough times and challenges have made you all better people in every way.
Thanks for sharing.
Amazing video. Awesome family history. Through the struggles you guys kept at it and hard work pays off! Love your product.
So proud of all you. Being self-employed for over 34 years I know how difficult it can be to run your own business. Thank you for sharing your history. Referring you to everyone I know!
To the person who referred to Freddie’s answer from God as a “fairy tale”, make no mistake, it was no fairy tale! The event was witnessed by his best friend and truly a direct answer from the Lord to Freddie’s prayer! The evidence is a changed and repentant life, and I should know, I am his wife! I pray you seek the Lord while He may be found, because Jesus Christ is the only way, the truth and the life; He is the only way to God! Acts 4:12 🕊
Praise the Lord!
As he related that tale I got goosebumps knowing it was real. He was so blessed to get a visit from an Angel, who changed his (and your) entire life.
Amen Bunny ...God bless you and your family !!!!
God's Word is Truth, Jesus is the only way to Heaven. They call it a fairy tale because there is no Truth(God) in them.Praying for the lost souls to accept Jesus. Amen
Amen!
You boys have an Amazing father, but I'd be willing to bet you already knew that. His service is very much appreciated!
Thank you for sharing your Dad with us. I wish I’d done something like this with mine before he went home.
We're sure your dad would've shared some tender and golden memories as well.
I think you said this is your dad, 3 of my cousins servered in the 82 airborne, Your dad had me glued to every word. He is a true American hero.
Great story and what a way to memorialize a time of life so you will never forget.
For sure! 💯
Thank you for telling your heartfelt story! It’s encouraging and inspiring to see you working as a family unit and relying fully on our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Thank you for sharing your, your family's, and your company's history/story. Fascinating and inspiring.
Spencer's expertise with the videography continues to make you, your company, and your products take front and center. He does phenomenal work!
Well said! Spencer just keeps getting better and better, and we couldn't be more proud! 💯
