Howard & Son Meatpacking

Howard & Son Meatpacking offers slaughter and processing services in Mercer, Pennsylvania, serving farms throughout the western part of the state near Youngstown, Ohio. The operation handles cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs, giving local producers a single stop for custom processing needs.

Farmers bringing animals to Howard & Son typically work with the team on both slaughter and further processing, which can include cutting, wrapping, and other finishing steps depending on what a herd or flock owner requires. This kind of full-service setup tends to suit small and mid-sized livestock operations that want to keep their animals close to home rather than trucking them long distances.

For producers in Mercer County and the surrounding region, having a processor that covers multiple species under one roof can simplify planning around harvest time, whether the job involves a few head of cattle, a batch of market hogs, or sheep and goats coming off pasture.
