Utah State University Meat Science Lab

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

The lab handles cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, and poultry including chicken, turkey, and duck, offering both slaughter and processing along with dedicated poultry processing lines. This range makes it a practical stop for small farms, 4-H and FFA projects, and local producers who need custom work done on a mix of livestock and birds without traveling to multiple facilities.

Operating as part of Utah State University, the lab combines academic meat science resources with real-world processing capacity for the surrounding agricultural community. It serves as a hands-on training ground for students while also meeting the needs of area farmers, homesteaders, and small-scale breeders looking for processing support close to home in northern Utah.
