University of Wisconsin River Falls

University of Wisconsin River Falls offers meat slaughter and processing services in River Falls, Wisconsin, serving the western Wisconsin region near St. Paul. The facility works with cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs, providing both harvest and processing support for local producers and small farms.

As part of a university meat science program, the operation blends hands-on education with practical processing work, giving students real experience while meeting the needs of area livestock owners. This dual purpose means the facility often handles smaller batches and custom orders that larger commercial plants may not prioritize, making it a useful option for hobby farmers, 4-H and FFA families, or producers raising a handful of animals for personal use or direct sale.

Because it operates within an academic setting, scheduling and capacity can vary with the school calendar, so producers in the River Falls area typically plan ahead when arranging slaughter or processing dates. The facility remains a practical resource for regional farms needing dependable, straightforward meat processing close to home.
