Tyson Foods to Partner with Allied Beef Company to Boost Beef Production
Tyson Foods' headquarters in Springdale, Arkansas.
Tyson Foods has announced plans to establish a long-term partnership with Allied Beef Company, a consortium of American ranchers.
Tyson says the collaboration would create a direct partnership between the company and American ranchers, creating a more economically sustainable model across the supply chain while supporting rancher opportunities and long-term growth.
In anticipation of the partnership, Tyson Foods is moving forward with plans to fully reopen the second production shift at its beef facility in Amarillo, Texas. The company has already begun restoring select second-shift operations and expects the shift to be fully operational by summer 2027.
"The future of our beef business depends on strong partnerships across the supply chain," says Tyson Foods COO Wes Morris. "We're proud to announce our intent to partner with Allied Beef and the American ranchers they represent while continuing to invest in facilities like Amarillo. Together, we plan to strengthen our beef production, creating value for American ranchers, and helping ensure a reliable supply of high-quality beef for customers and consumers."
Allied Beef says the partnership represents an opportunity to create long-term value for American ranchers while strengthening connections across the cattle supply chain. By working directly with Tyson Foods, Allied Beef expects to create new opportunities for ranchers while helping support the continued growth of beef production.
The reopening of the Amarillo second shift will increase production and create additional employment opportunities.
