Joe Pagliuso & Brothers Inc.

Joe Pagliuso & Brothers Inc. operates at 6845 North Slocum Rd in Ontario, Wayne County, New York, under USDA establishment number M4253. The federal record lists the plant for both meat slaughter and meat processing, with a grant of inspection date on file of May 11, 2017. FSIS classifies the establishment as very small, and its reported slaughter volume falls in the lowest category, under 1,000 head per year.

Species slaughtered under federal inspection, as reported to FSIS, are cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb. The plant also reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it handles animals owned by the customer with packages marked Not for Sale, and it reports retail-exempt sales. A secondary directory listing describes the business as offering cattle, sheep, goat, and pig processing for the greater Rochester area; goat is not among the species listed in the federal slaughter record.

No website is on file for this establishment, and no operator-published text was available. Details beyond the federal record, including hours, pricing, scheduling practices, cut and wrap options, and ownership history, are not yet on file. Farmers and households should call (315) 524-8252 to confirm current activity and availability.

The federal record lists cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb as species slaughtered under inspection, and the plant reports custom-exempt slaughter for animals owned by the customer, with resulting packages marked Not for Sale. A secondary directory listing also mentions goat processing, which does not appear in the species reported to FSIS. Reported slaughter volume is in the lowest FSIS category, under 1,000 head per year, so capacity is limited. Booking windows, drop-off procedures, minimums, kill fees, and cut and wrap charges are not stated in any source on file. Call the plant directly to confirm species accepted and scheduling.

Joe Pagliuso & Brothers Inc. reports custom-exempt slaughter to FSIS, which means it can process an animal a customer already owns (a whole, half, or share bought before slaughter) and return it in packages marked Not for Sale. Most small farms have one or two plants they book with, and the plant's calendar decides the delivery date.

The establishment reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS, which generally indicates some direct sales activity, but no source on file describes a retail counter, halves and quarters, bundles, online ordering, delivery, or shipping. Households interested in buying should call to ask what is available.

If you are buying a half or quarter animal, the plant is where the animal is processed; the farm sells you the animal. Read how to buy a half cow for the sequence and the math.
