This statement is partially incorrect. Bailiffs were not responsible for raising animals for meat and weaving cloth into clothing under the manorial system.
The manorial system was an economic and social system that existed in Europe during the Middle Ages. It was based on a landowning lord who provided land to serfs, who worked on the lord's land in exchange for protection and a share of the crops grown. The lord had the right to collect taxes and oversee the administration of justice on the manor.
Bailiffs, or stewards, were appointed by the lord to manage the manor and oversee the work of the serfs. They were responsible for collecting taxes, supervising the cultivation of crops, and maintaining the manor buildings and lands.
Raising animals for meat and weaving cloth into clothing were typically the responsibilities of the serfs themselves, who had to provide some of their crops to the lord as rent and also had the right to use some of the land for their own purposes. Some manors also had specialized craftsmen, such as blacksmiths and shoemakers, who were responsible for producing tools and clothing.
