Wyoming farms gain tightly limited meat sales

The law takes effect July 1, 2025, but its new meat sales path starts only after the Governor certifies federal permission. Certification requires Attorney General advice and notice to the Secretary of State. Federal permission must come from a federal law or a final federal court ruling covering Wyoming that invalidates the ban. Once certified, producers can immediately sell meat from their own cattle, sheep, swine, or goats directly to informed Wyoming buyers. Animals must be born, raised, slaughtered, processed, and sold in Wyoming. Slaughter must occur on the producer’s premises or at a custom slaughter facility without a state or federal inspector on duty. Sales can occur on or off the producer’s premises. At sale, producers must provide a prominent written warning, either separately or on the package. It must say the meat is uninspected and unregulated, describe animal-health and processing standards, and state the buyer’s agreement not to resell, donate, or commercially redistribute it. Producers cannot imply Wyoming Department of Agriculture approval or endorsement. After certification, the department can issue rules to carry out the law; sales do not have to wait for those rules.
