Have you read the new executive order
https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2026/09/promoting-fair-competition-in-livestock-markets-and-expanding-market-access-for-american-meat-producers/
Basically it's sayin this:
"USDA, start tearing down unnecessary barriers that keep small ranchers and processors from processing their animals and selling their meat, and tell me within 60 days which federal laws are standing in the way.”
So as of right now it changes nothing for the small farmer and rancher but it is a step towards it.
The revised cottage laws I wrote up addressed this and here is what I wrote this is not current laws this is what I wrote up 1 of MANY THINGS and presented at the Capitol. The dept of AG and the health dept liaison weren't happy with this change I proposed so I find it a complete miracle that President Trump wrote an executive order supporting this exact thing I wrote just 2 days after I met with them.......
(9) Meat and poultry produced by an agricultural food production operation. An agricultural food production operation may slaughter, butcher, process, package, and sell its own livestock, poultry, or other farm-raised animals directly to an end consumer on or from the farm without a state or local food-establishment, meat-processing, or slaughter-facility license or routine inspection solely because of such direct sale. An agricultural food production operation may alternatively send its animals to a state- or federally-inspected or otherwise lawfully licensed slaughter or processing establishment and may thereafter sell the resulting meat or poultry directly to an end consumer without an additional food-establishment, meat-processing, or slaughter-facility license or duplicative inspection imposed on the farm. Nothing in this subdivision shall be construed to authorize conduct prohibited by applicable federal law.
I'm so curious to wait and see how this plays out.
