Butchering: Works....Sort of!
You can kill fattened animals, use a dagger or cleaver on them to get a hide covered body, take them to a butchering station and harvest the hides/wool first ... then click on them with a dagger again to cut out the meat from the corpse body. It also finishes giving the meat long before the actual corpse is used up, so you could actually drop the corpse on the ground and walk away without using up the corpse. Trying to harvest meat from the corpse again doesn't result in any extra meat but likely still gives a chance at skill gains until the chops noises finish up I imagine.
I did not track skill or see any skill gain, even at 0.0 skill. The below tests were done as my staff character already with likely max skill cap - butchering skill just set at the 120/50/0 level.
(Fun Fact: Staff Duplicated, already dead animal corpses in your pack result in corpses that will not give you meat or hides)
