University of Idaho Meats Lab

University of Idaho Meats Lab provides slaughter and processing services in Moscow, Idaho, serving the Palouse region not far from Lewiston. The facility handles a broad range of livestock and poultry, including cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, turkeys, and ducks, making it a practical option for small farms and producers with mixed operations.

As part of the university's animal science program, the lab combines hands-on meat processing with an academic setting, offering both slaughter and full processing for red meat animals alongside dedicated poultry processing. This range allows producers to bring multiple species through a single facility rather than coordinating separate processors for livestock and birds.

For farms, homesteaders, or small-scale breeders in the surrounding Idaho and eastern Washington countryside, having access to a facility that covers everything from cattle to ducks can simplify planning around harvest season. The lab's connection to the University of Idaho also reflects a research and teaching component tied to its daily processing work.
