Yes, you may touch meat. Abstinence is the penance required and is not specific except on Good Friday for many Christians. No eating of meat if that is what you "give up" for lent. Butchers must work through lent, hard to do if they were not able to touch meat.
Many people give up other things other than meat. Meat is not a staple food for many cultures. It is the spirit of the penance that makes it valid.
