Questions

How many cattle slaughter plants does Florida have?

20 establishments in Florida carry the flag in the FSIS directory of 2026-09-01, in 15 counties. 19 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. Florida has no state meat inspection program, so federal inspection and the custom exemption are the two routes available.
