A Meat Cutter butchers meat into more useful portions. Animals like cows, pigs and wild game are often transported and sold to wholesalers in larger sections, such as an entire side of beef. A Meat Cutter then transforms those primal cuts into the packaged cuts purchased by restaurants and sold on the refrigerated shelves of grocery stores. An efficient Meat Cutter can make or break a company’s bottom line. Cutting meat with minimal waste and accurately weighing portions improves sales and limits financial losses.
