Where to get cattle, hogs, sheep and goats slaughtered under inspection across the United States.

The Agriculture Resource Library lists 1,210 USDA-inspected meat slaughter plants across 49 states, each with its own page. The states with the most are Pennsylvania (106), Texas (80), Missouri (48).

A USDA-inspected plant has a federal inspector on site when it runs, and the meat it produces can be sold to stores, restaurants and across state lines. A custom-exempt butcher cuts and wraps an animal for the owner's own use; that meat cannot be sold. Custom-exempt shops are licensed by the state and are not in this federal list, so ask your state department of agriculture for that roster.

Pick your state below. Each state page lists every match with its address and links to its own page, and the full state list can be filtered by county or town.
