In recent years, about nine to ten thousand. Chiquart's shopping list starts

"And first: one hundred well-fattened cattle, one hundred and thirty sheep,
also well fattened, one hundred and twenty pigs; and for each day during
the feast, one hundred little piglets, both for roasting and for other
needs, and sixty salted large well fattened pigs for larding and making
soups."

And that's not all the meat.

The whole cookbook is webbed on my site, incidentally.
