Questions

How many sheep and lamb slaughter plants does Michigan have?

18 establishments in Michigan carry the flag in the FSIS directory of 2026-09-01, in 16 counties. 17 of them also report custom-exempt work, which is what a household needs to have its own animal processed.

What does the sheep and lamb flag mean?

Establishments with a slaughter flag for sheep or lamb. Small-ruminant capacity is thin in much of the country, which is why booking windows for lamb run long.

Are state-inspected plants included?

No. This list is federal grants of inspection only. Michigan has no state meat inspection program, so federal inspection and the custom exemption are the two routes available.
