For a current list of producers with meat or meat animals available in Wyoming please call (307-347-3431) or email (WashakieCounty@uwyo.edu).
If you use Facebook, you can try the Wyoming Meat and Produce Market. Many local butchers also have a retail store front and sell various cuts of meat or can help you find local producers.
If you have animals or meat to sell fill out this form or call the Washakie County Extension Office and we will add your to the list.
If you are buying “locker meat” directly from a farmer or rancher, here is how it generally works:
It is common for producers to charge per pound of “hanging weight”. This is how much the carcass weighs after slaughter and before processing. See the charts below. For example, on a pig you will get around 70% of the carcass (by weight) back as meat after processing (depending on the animal and the cuts you choose).
Call your local Wyoming CHS inspector directly with questions: https://wyagric.state.wy.us/divisions/chs/contacts.
Restaurants, senior centers, group homes, schools, etc. can use meat from WY State Inspected Meat Plants OR USDA Inspected Meat Plants only. Meat processed as Custom Exempt is labeled “not for re-sale” and can only be consumed by the individual that buys the meat and their family/guests.
There are six WY State Inspected facilities that both process and slaughter. They have specific slaughter days for State Inspected and other slaughter says for Custom Exempt. If a restaurant, school, or service organization is purchasing meat from one of these processors they must tell the processor that then need State Inspected.
