Kansas State University

Kansas State University offers meat processing services in Manhattan, Kansas, serving the broader Flint Hills region near Topeka. The facility handles slaughter and processing for cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs, along with poultry processing for chicken, turkey, and duck.

This university-affiliated operation supports a range of needs, from small farm operations to larger livestock producers looking for dependable processing options. Species diversity means the facility can accommodate mixed-operation farms that raise both red meat animals and poultry under one roof, simplifying logistics for producers who might otherwise need multiple providers.

As part of Kansas State's agricultural programs, the processing services often tie into broader educational and research efforts, giving farmers access to a facility with ties to animal science expertise. Producers in the Manhattan area and surrounding Kansas farmland can find this a practical option for finishing livestock and poultry into market-ready products.
