Abbyland Pork Pack, Inc. operates at 539 North Meridian Street in Curtiss, Clark County, Wisconsin, under USDA establishment numbers M15896 and P15896. The federal record lists its FSIS activities as meat processing, meat slaughter, and poultry processing, with hogs as the species slaughtered under inspection.

The plant is a division of the Abbyland group of companies, which the company website traces to Harland Schraufnagel, who opened Abbyland Foods, Inc. in Abbotsford, Wisconsin on October 4, 1977 as a custom beef processing plant and retail store. The website states that Abbyland, Inc. today has over 1,000 employees across 8 divisions, and describes Abbyland Pork Pack as a slaughter and boning operation supplying the meat industry with pre-rigor pork. Other divisions listed include Abbyland Foods sausage and cooked meat manufacturing, Abbyland Beef, Abbyland Hot Wraps, 'Dem Bones pet treats, Abbyland Trucking, a distribution center opened in 2013, and a travel center and restaurants.

Contact information differs by unit. FSIS lists a plant telephone of (715) 223-4676 for the Curtiss location, while the company website routes Abbyland Pork Pack, Inc. sales, quality assurance, and office contacts through extensions on the corporate line at (715) 223-6386, with corporate mail at P.O. Box 69, 502 East Linden Street, Abbotsford, WI 54405. The website's Pork Pack page carries no product or service detail. Beyond the federal record and these company descriptions, details such as hours, retail sales, and terms for individual livestock owners are not yet on file.

The federal record shows hogs slaughtered under inspection at this establishment and reports no custom-exempt activity, meaning the plant is not listed as doing custom slaughter or cut and wrap for animal owners under a custom exemption. The company describes Pork Pack as a slaughter and boning operation supplying pre-rigor pork to the meat industry, which is an industrial supply model rather than a per-animal service. Booking procedures, minimums, scheduling, and fees for livestock owners are not stated in the sources. Producers with hogs to market would need to contact the Abbyland Pork Pack sales manager through the corporate line listed on the website, or the plant number on file with FSIS, to learn what is available.

Abbyland Pork Pack, Inc. operates under a federal grant of inspection, so product from this plant can be sold anywhere in the United States, which matters if you sell online or across a state line. FSIS does not list a custom-exempt activity for this plant.

No retail counter, freezer sales, halves or quarters, bundles, online ordering, shipping, or delivery to households are described for the Curtiss plant in the sources. The website presents Abbyland branded sausage and cooked meat products as distributed through major regional warehouses, and directs where-to-buy questions to a corporate sales email address. Household buyers should treat this establishment as a wholesale supplier unless the company states otherwise.

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.
