Questions

How many sheep and lamb slaughter plants does North Dakota have?

9 establishments in North Dakota carry the flag in the FSIS directory of 2026-09-01, in 9 counties. 9 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. North Dakota also runs a state meat inspection program whose plants can sell within the state; the state agency keeps that list, and the North Dakota buying guide explains how the two systems fit together.
