Utah State University Meat Science Lab

Utah State University Meat Science Lab provides slaughter and processing services in Wellsville, Utah, serving the Cache Valley region near Logan.

The lab handles a wide range of livestock and poultry, including cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, turkeys, and ducks. Services cover both slaughter and full processing, giving local producers a single facility for turning raised animals into finished meat products. This range makes it a practical option for small farms and larger operations alike that need dependable, close-to-home processing rather than hauling animals long distances.

As part of Utah State University, the lab operates within an academic setting focused on meat science, which shapes its approach to handling and processing animals across species. For farmers, ranchers, and poultry producers in the surrounding Cache Valley area, having access to a facility that processes such a broad variety of livestock and fowl simplifies planning around harvest timing, flock or herd size, and seasonal production cycles.
