USDA-inspected very small slaughter plants in Louisiana

3 establishments in Louisiana carry the flag in the FSIS directory of 2026-09-01, in 3 counties. 3 of them also report custom-exempt work, which is what a household needs to have its own animal processed.

Establishments FSIS classes as Very Small, fewer than ten employees or under $2.5 million in annual sales. These are the plants that do custom work for households and cut for small farms, and the ones most likely to have a waiting list.

No. This list is federal grants of inspection only. Louisiana also runs a state meat inspection program whose plants can sell within the state; the state agency keeps that list, and the Louisiana buying guide explains how the two systems fit together.
