Butchers--Retail

To find a complete list of butcher’s products that are available through retails channels look under this Yellow Pages® heading. A butcher is a professional who specialises in creating choice cuts of edible meat from a particular animal. Butchers work with all types of animals, such as lamb, cow (beef), etc.  Butchers might also specialise in the distribution of their products through retail channels. The retailer, in turn, would then resell the product to their customers for a profit. Retailers could include grocery stores, meat stores, etc.

A butcher is someone who prepares various meats and other related goods for sale. Butchery is a traditional work. Primary butchery consists of selecting carcasses, sides, or quarters from which primary cuts can be produced with the minimum of wastage, separate the primal cuts from the carcasses using the appropriate tools and equipment following company procedures, trim primal cuts and prepare for secondary butchery or sale, and store cut meats hygienically and safely. Secondary butchery involves boning and trimming primal cuts in preparation for sale. A butcher will also manufacture meat products for sausages, pies and stir-fries. Butchers require training to ensure efficient cutting, trimming, and storage of the meats.

Many butchers sell their goods in specialised stores, although in the Western world today most meat is sold through supermarkets. A retailer specialises in the distribution of a product to the consumer via retail channels. A retailer of a butcher’s products would essentially buy the raw items from the butcher and redistribute to their customers. The butcher would supply this item at a discounted price to the retailer.
