Wild Country Meats

Wild Country Meats operates at 801 East 1st Street in Hominy, Osage County, Oklahoma, under USDA establishment number M2565. The federal record lists the plant for meat slaughter and meat processing, with cattle and hogs reported as species slaughtered under inspection. FSIS classifies it as a very small establishment, with a grant of inspection date on file of May 16, 2025, and a slaughter volume category of under 1,000 head per year. The plant also reports custom-exempt slaughter, in which animals owned by the customer are processed and the packages are marked Not for Sale.

The company website describes Wild Country Meats as a custom meat processor and retail meat market in Osage County that offers both custom processing and USDA-inspected processing and co-packing. The site states the business was incorporated in 1998 and is owned and operated by the Gabriel family, and it describes a tag numbering system that follows each animal from the holding pens through slaughter, the cooler, the cutting table and the freezer, along with photos, detailed labeling and an itemized inventory report at pickup or delivery. Customer comments on the site refer to a second location in Cleveland, Oklahoma, and indicate that the Hominy site focuses on beef while Cleveland handles a broader retail selection and wild game such as elk and deer. The federal record on file here covers the Hominy address only.

Beyond slaughter and cut and wrap, the website lists smoking and curing, breakfast sausage, bratwurst, hamburger patties, and a line of beef jerky and snack sticks. Retail sales are handled through an online order form with local pickup in Cleveland, delivery to selected Oklahoma cities, and USPS shipping for non-perishable items only. Hours are not stated in the material on file.

The website lists custom processing fees effective December 1, 2025, with fees secured at drop-off and subject to change. Beef slaughter, custom or USDA inspected, is listed at $89.00, with buffalo slaughter, custom or state inspected, also at $89.00, plus $0.89 per pound on carcass weight for beef or buffalo processing and $0.89 per pound for hamburger patties. Hog, lamb and goat slaughter is listed at $49.00 with $0.89 per pound on carcass weight for processing, $0.89 per pound for smoke and curing, $0.49 per pound for breakfast sausage, and bratwurst listed at $2.99 and $3.49 per pound. Beef is hung 10 to 14 days when possible, or cut within about 5 days if the carcass is small, lean, or destined entirely for grinding. Hogs may be cut as soon as 2 days after slaughter, with 7 to 10 days total when curing is involved. The site states takehome yield is normally 50 to 65 percent of beef carcass weight and about 72 percent of hog carcass weight. All beef, bison, pork, lamb and goat are vacuum packed, with a stated guarantee that 80 percent of packages will be tightly sealed and free re-sealing of any that lose vacuum. Animals are tagged at drop-off and tracked through slaughter, aging, cutting and grinding so that the meat returned comes from the customer's animal. Organs are cut and packaged on the day of slaughter and are not necessarily from the customer's own animal. The site offers a Schedule Butcher Date function and beef and pig cutting order forms. Booking lead times and minimums are not stated.

Wild Country Meats 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 website sells retail cuts and bundles through an online Easy Order form, with categories for beef, pork, chicken, packs, and beef jerky and snack sticks. Local pickup is at the Cleveland, Oklahoma location, with smaller orders in 4 to 5 days, larger orders such as sides, quarters and large bundles in 5 to 7 days, and deli items sliced 30 to 45 minutes before pickup. Delivery is listed at $5 to selected Oklahoma cities including Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Bartlesville, Perry and Stillwater on qualifying orders of $150 or more, delivered in 7 to 10 days between 9:00am and 6:00pm, with someone present or a cooler or freezer available. USPS shipping is available for non-perishable items only, such as jerky, snack sticks and seasoning. Payment is by credit card or gift card online, and EBT may be paid in person at pickup or delivery. All sales are final. Bundles include family and deluxe family packs, hamburger packs, bacon and breakfast sausage packs, and chicken packs. Half and quarter beef purchases are referenced by customer comments on the site but sale terms for halves and quarters are not stated in the material on file.

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.
