Questions
How many elk, deer and yak slaughter plants does Idaho have?
2 establishments in Idaho carry the flag in the FSIS directory of 2026-09-01, in 2 counties. 2 of them also report custom-exempt work, which is what a household needs to have its own animal processed.
What does the elk, deer and yak flag mean?
Establishments flagged for farmed elk, deer, reindeer or yak, inspected under the voluntary program. Wild game harvested by hunters is outside inspection and outside this list.
Are state-inspected plants included?
No. This list is federal grants of inspection only. Idaho has no state meat inspection program, so federal inspection and the custom exemption are the two routes available.
