Question:

What is the difference between a butcher and a master butcher and is there a guild of master butchers?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: You must be from england since you ask about the guild of master butchers. They have a website
www.guildofqbutchers.com

I also found a article explaining the time line training for butchers in switzerland:

When I learned the butcher trade in Switzerland the apprenticeship took three years. Following one year of journeyman status I was able to apply to the Swiss-Master-Butcher School. This training period as a Master Butcher took one year. In Switzerland, at that time, any butcher wishing to own his own butcher store or meat processing plant or slaughtering facility had to successfully complete the Master Butcher exams and be in possession of the title "Master Butcher". Only a Master Butcher is entitled to train others to become butcher.

Hope this helps.
