There are three main types of butchers:
The first type of butcher works for wholesalers and supermarket chains. You cut large pieces of meat into steaks and chops, shape and tie roasts, and grind beef for sale as chopped meat. You may also package, price and attractively display meat items
The second type of butcher works in meat shops or markets and has direct contact with customers. You help customers choose meats and prepare special requests. You also weigh the meat, price it, and prepare specialty cuts.
The third type of butcher works in meatpacking plants, where you slaughter large animals such as cattle and pigs, and cut the large segments of meat into smaller portions. You may work on an assembly line, and be responsible for a particular cut of meat. This type of work involves little contact with the public.
All types of butchers are responsible for ensuring meat quality, and maintaining approved sanitation and safety programs.
