How many cattle slaughter plants does New Jersey have?

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. New Jersey has no state meat inspection program, so federal inspection and the custom exemption are the two routes available.
