# Tyson partners with AlliedBeef to restart Amarillo shift

> Tyson Foods plans to restart a second shift at its Amarillo, Texas, beef plant in partnership with rancher group AlliedBeef, with the shift expected to be fully operational by summer 2027. The partnership is intended to improve cattle availability and plant utilization as tight US supplies and drought-limited pasture constrain the sector; USDA has also resumed cattle imports from Mexico.

## Why it matters

Restarting the shift could increase Tyson’s demand for cattle, while resumed Mexican imports may add to US supply. The net price effect on cattle is uncertain, though the move reflects continued tightness in available supplies.
