Description

The goal of this fact sheet is to help consumers who are considering purchasing a goat or sheep from a rancher under custom exempt slaughter. Additionally, ranchers may use this fact sheet and interactive tool to help talk to consumers about what to expect when purchasing a goat or sheep. The interactive excel tool is available here and will be discussed throughout this fact sheet. The first tab has an example for goat producers, and the second tab has an example for sheep producers. Key points of the excel tool are estimating the amount of meat received by a consumer, as well as the estimated cost including purchasing and processing fees.
