During the harvest, the butchers traveled through the villages and had fun, arranging demonstrative fights. They entertained the public by summoning the local strongmen to the fights. After the fights, the fighters would kill the local cattle to prepare a treat for the grateful audience. These competitions were a good survival school for future warriors and hunters.
