IFAS Extension
Several livestock producers are trying to gain a greater portion of the available profit margin by becoming meat marketers, rather than just livestock marketers. Additionally, many Florida consumers aspire to buy locally raised products. The following is a comprehensive list of USDA-inspected meat-animal slaughter facilities in the state of Florida. Contact these processors to help meet the needs of potential niche marketers or the most discriminating meat consumer. The USDA FSIS also has an interactive map that is updated more frequently than this list. Enter a given state and class of livestock slaughter and processing for availability in your area. https://www.fsis.usda.gov/inspection/establishments/meat-poultry-and-egg-product-inspection-directory
