Questions
How many bison slaughter plants does Montana have?
7 establishments in Montana carry the flag in the FSIS directory of 2026-09-01, in 7 counties. 7 of them also report custom-exempt work, which is what a household needs to have its own animal processed.
What does the bison flag mean?
Establishments with a bison or buffalo slaughter flag. Bison is inspected under the voluntary exotic animal program rather than the mandatory meat inspection act, which is why the list is short and worth having.
Are state-inspected plants included?
No. This list is federal grants of inspection only. Montana also runs a state meat inspection program whose plants can sell within the state; the state agency keeps that list, and the Montana buying guide explains how the two systems fit together.
