University of Wisconsin River Falls

University of Wisconsin River Falls offers slaughter and processing services in River Falls, Wisconsin, part of the St. Croix Valley region not far from Minneapolis-St. Paul. The facility works with cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs, giving area farmers and small producers access to processing without traveling long distances.

As part of the university's animal science program, the facility blends hands-on teaching with practical meat processing work. Students and staff handle the slaughter and cutting process, giving local livestock owners a straightforward option for getting animals processed close to home while supporting an educational mission tied to agriculture in western Wisconsin.

For farmers raising cattle, sheep, goats, or hogs in the surrounding countryside, this kind of university-affiliated processing can be a practical fit, especially for smaller operations that need reliable, nearby service rather than sending animals farther afield. It reflects the everyday agricultural rhythm of the region, where teaching and production often overlap.
