NEVER

Between the rural peasants who slaughter their own meat, and the hunting masters of the nobility lies the urban butcher, who slaughters and dresses animals for the town to eat.
As a customer, you have Arron's assurance that all animals are hunted and butchered using only the most humane of methods, and culled from the most mundane, non-sapient, non-sentient selection available.
Current Assistants: Tarquinne Lawson, Raali Fleischer (apprenticing)

Arron - alongside assistants, hunters, and his own creations - ensures that wherever he may settle, his shop will be well-kept, and stocked with everything from small and large local game animals, to beef, to pork, to lamb.
Anything can be killed and made to special order, at a cost. Prices are subject to change depending on animal, size, availability, and complexity of preparation.
EXTRAS include, but are not necessarily limited to: fat (cooked or raw), bones, blood*, offal and pluck
*Blood tends to be rare and is often pricier than expected - one would presume it is due to the demands of the more vampiric or esoterically-minded population of the places in which he tends to settle.

THE BORAMETZ
Red meat is a luxury no matter where Arron happens to settle - especially in places ill-suited for successfully rearing livestock. Prices are high, but so is the demand - and often it's not a very competitive business.
Which is just the way Arron likes it.
In addition to utilizing a small population of livestock animals, Arron has devised and implemented a workaround to stock issues - one which he often reserves for less hospitable or sustainable areas (such as Guildereim); the borametz.
The jury is still out on whether these unexpected additions to his more customary fare are strangely stationary animals or exceptionally unusual plants. If not both. A curiosity to behold and a delicacy to eat, these odd creatures stem from the earth, quickly grow as a complete animal on compact, vibrating, vein-filled vines, and varieties generally resemble anything from geese, to ambiguous livestock, to the rare human. These appearance of these 'fruits' range from buds, gourds and blossoms to full-grown adults, and they appear to have flesh, blood and bones like any regular animal. With the exception of the more humanoid varieties, most act pleasant, quiet and agreeably dull.
Despite undoubtedly unnatural origin, the meat is tender, rich and slightly sweet when eaten. The plant, by contrast, is tasteless and dry, and always left untouched by hungry herbivores - save for other, neighboring lambs. The growth of wool and hair is uncommon and resembles more of a thick vegetable silk than true wool.
Arron harvests seeds from these creatures when preparing the meat, and isn't keen on sharing his methods of collection. He frequently travels with small and unobtrusive seed packets, which fetch a hefty sum if and when he's willing to part with them.

Why not have a little fun?

Arron collects magic.
Whether to augment or enhance his own skill, or simply to obtain knowledge alone, Arron has found himself running a small under-the-table business of buying, selling, sampling and trading unusual (often illegal) artifacts, texts and substances.
The stranger, rarer and more illicit the subject, the more Arron finds it appealing, and he frequently seems utterly oblivious - or perhaps welcoming - of any bizarre consequence to himself upon use.
This behavior could be likened to an addiction.
