Questions
How many bison slaughter plants does Tennessee have?
4 establishments in Tennessee carry the flag in the FSIS directory of 2026-09-01, in 4 counties. 4 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. Tennessee has no state meat inspection program, so federal inspection and the custom exemption are the two routes available.
