Questions
How many very small slaughter plants does Utah have?
12 establishments in Utah carry the flag in the FSIS directory of 2026-09-01, in 9 counties. 10 of them also report custom-exempt work, which is what a household needs to have its own animal processed.
What does the very small plants flag mean?
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.
Are state-inspected plants included?
No. This list is federal grants of inspection only. Utah also runs a state meat inspection program whose plants can sell within the state; the state agency keeps that list, and the Utah buying guide explains how the two systems fit together.
