Butcher Information

[cofcharlotte]

For school, my son is part of a Renaissance program.  Each student has selected a profession that they must dress up as and give a presentation about.  He has selected to be the butcher.  Does anyone have any info on the profession from the Renaissance days.  Thank you.

That sounds like a fun project. I did a quick search just because I'm curious now too.

Seems they were held in very high regard! I imagine there are other members here who can add much more to your search. Looking forward to seeing your sons finished persona. If he would, might we see pictures?
