Raw Mutton in villager trading
Raw Mutton is a raw-material trade: villagers pay emeralds for it, which makes it a candidate for an automated emerald farm rather than something you purchase back.
Raw Mutton is uncooked meat, normally dropped by farm animals. Selling it to a Butcher turns surplus animal-farm output straight into emeralds. No recipe in Java 26.2 produces it: it drops from sheep.

Your odds of finding Raw Mutton
Every villager listed below shows this trade: their tier draws its whole pool, so there is nothing to roll for. What is left to plan is throughput.
| Villager | Tier | Villagers with this offer | Rolls to see it | Most from one villager | After a cure |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Butcher | Journeyman | 100% (2 in 2)Bedrock 50% (1 in 2) | none, it is always there | 32 emeralds a day2 restocks a day | 1 raw muttonwas 7, 6 off |
The chance is the draw size over the pool size in the game's own trade set file for that tier. The Bedrock line under it is the same sum on Bedrock's own table, which splits a tier into groups and draws out of each one separately, so the two editions often disagree. The day figure is the trade's use limit times the 2 restocks a villager is allowed per in-game day (Villager.allowedToRestock), so it is a ceiling and not an average: it assumes you are there for every restock. The cure column is 125 reputation times the trade's own multiplier, floored, and never takes a cost below one. Counted from the game's own draw sizes. How that check works.

To sell Raw Mutton for emeralds, bring it to a Butcher at the Journeyman tier (7 units per 1 emerald).
Is trading Raw Mutton worth it?
The best rate any villager offers is an emerald per 7 raw mutton, from the Butcher, and 1 of the other 7 pays out faster. No villager sells raw mutton back, so it is emeralds out and nothing in.

| A full slot of | To | Emeralds | Worth in Raw Mutton |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 acacia boats | master Fisherman | 12 | 84 raw mutton |
| 24 book and quills | expert Librarian | 12 | 84 raw mutton |
| 60 ink sacs | journeyman Librarian | 12 | 84 raw mutton |

| 288 gray wool | novice Shepherd | 16 | 112 raw mutton |
| 312 flint | apprentice Leatherworker | 12 | 84 raw mutton |
16 acacia boats against 416 flint for the same 16 emeralds, 26 times the carrying, and the shortest wait is the Butcher at 10 real minutes of shelf, gathering not counted. Raw Mutton itself pays 7 an emerald, so 26 of the 72 ask less and 44 ask more.
How Raw Mutton trading works
Every raw mutton offer here locks after 16 uses, and a villager restocks up to twice per Minecraft day, so one is good for 32 of these trades a day and no more.
The earliest raw mutton shows up is the Butcher's Journeyman tier, level 3 of five, which a villager reaches at 70 trade experience. A freshly employed one is 2 tiers short of offering raw mutton at all.
How long Raw Mutton takes in real time
112 raw mutton empty one slot at the Butcher, 2400 ticks (Villager.allowedToRestock) at 20 a second (TickRateManager) refill it 2 real minutes later, and the 24000-tick villager day (Timelines) holds 2 of those fills in 20 real minutes.
So one butcher moves 224 raw mutton against 32 emeralds a Minecraft day, 7 raw mutton every 37.5 real seconds, 1.6 emeralds a real minute. 64 raw mutton fit inside one of those slots, refill untouched.
Tips for trading Raw Mutton
- One villager, one restock: the Butcher pays an emerald per 7 raw mutton and that slot runs 16 trades, so 112 raw mutton is all one will take before it locks, for 16 emeralds in total.

- Also on the Butcher's list: raw beef, dried kelp block, sweet berries, raw chicken, raw porkchop, raw rabbit.
