    I would think all you need is an autioneers licence. Don't take that as fact though though. Not 100%. Someone will verify though.

    To officially learn to be a butcher you need to do an apprenticeship but many butchers have worked at it for many years without doing official training (as with most trades)

    I would imagine you would study Auctioneering first and then specialise in livestock after.

    I think you would have to take some Business Studies course.

    If you are not happy with the response here go ask in your local market or somewhere. Don't wait another nine months to ask again here. :pac:

    well muckit give a day killing in the slaughterhouse killing 12 heifers and 30 lambs with 1 more guy and you will see how EASY it is. Butchering is a craft involving the purchase of a top quality animal processing it through the slaughterhouse and selling the processed carcass over the counter. It takes knowledge, skill and practice and STILL no easy money!!
