There was no butcher shop and people caught or grew the animals that they killed. You have to remember there was no good method to keep meat fresh, so it was killed and eaten the same day. Types of meat eaten were beef, lamb, goat, chicken, fowl of all sorts, hare, rabbit, deer, eels, boar, pork.

____________

There were butchers in the middle ages. It is a very old profession. Butchers belonged to the Guild of Butchers - many of the Guild records are still available to read. Butchers were well regarded and in some cities powerful members of society.

Butchers who became members of the Guild had to do an apprenticeship and eventually would become Master butchers. The meat was preserved in salt, smoked or pickled so it would keep for more than a day.

They would butcher beef, pork, horse (yes, sorry horse), fowl, lamb, veal, venison, hedgehog.

What did medieval butchers do?

The original of the Butcher's signs and symbols are more obvious if the reasons for butchers are known. In the middle ages, small animals were killed and eaten on the same day. There was no refrigeration and spoiled meat was a problem. Larger animals (generally pigs and cows) obviously can not be consumed in a day by a family, so the butcher would take the animal and section it for multiple families, or the whole town. So selling a large animal was a way to convert it into fresh meat over a longer period of time.Butcher's signs generally are of 3 types, knives, pigs and cows.
