Questions
How many cattle slaughter plants does Arizona have?
8 establishments in Arizona carry the flag in the FSIS directory of 2026-09-01, in 7 counties. 6 of them also report custom-exempt work, which is what a household needs to have its own animal processed.
What does the cattle flag mean?
Establishments whose FSIS demographic record carries a slaughter flag for steers, heifers, cows, bulls or calves. These are the plants that can process a beef animal, whether the farm sells it by the cut under inspection or a household buys a half.
Are state-inspected plants included?
No. This list is federal grants of inspection only. Arizona also runs a state meat inspection program whose plants can sell within the state; the state agency keeps that list, and the Arizona buying guide explains how the two systems fit together.
