About Wag's Brothers Meats, LLC
Wag's Brothers Meats, LLC operates at 429 Kralltown Road, Wellsville, Pennsylvania, in York County, under establishment numbers M3944 and P3944. The federal record lists the plant for meat slaughter and meat processing, with a grant of inspection date on file of May 12, 2026, and a small size classification. Species slaughtered under inspection, as reported to FSIS, are cattle and hogs, with an annual slaughter volume category of under 1,000 head per year.
The establishment reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it processes animals owned by the customer with packages marked Not for Sale, and it also reports retail-exempt sales. A social media listing for the business states that grass fed beef is offered and is available for custom processing only, and a seasonal post refers to keeping the plant in mind for processing during the 2025/2026 hunting season and mentions a meal deal available without calling ahead.
The website on file, wagsbrothersmeats.com, currently displays a coming soon placeholder and carries no service, pricing, or scheduling information. Details beyond the federal record and these limited listings, including hours, booking procedures, cut and wrap fees, and retail counter offerings, are not yet on file.

For farmers and ranchers
The plant is listed with FSIS for both meat slaughter and meat processing, and reports slaughtering cattle and hogs under inspection at a volume of under 1,000 head per year, which places it in the smallest FSIS volume category. It also reports custom-exempt slaughter, so a producer can have their own animals killed and cut with the packages marked Not for Sale for the owner's use. Booking windows, lead times, minimums, kill day schedules, hanging fees, and cut and wrap charges are not stated in any source on file, so a farmer should call (717) 353-5402 to confirm availability and terms.
Wag's Brothers Meats, LLC 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.
For households
The establishment reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS, which generally indicates some direct sales at the plant, and a social media post refers to a meal deal available by stopping in without calling ahead. No source on file describes a retail case inventory, halves or quarters for sale, bundles, delivery, shipping, or online ordering. Grass fed beef is described on the business social media page as available for custom processing only, not as a retail purchase.
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.
