Tyson Foods and Allied Beef Company announced a planned long-term cattle supply partnership to improve cattle availability for Tyson’s U.S. beef processing network. The agreement is intended to support the restart of second-shift operations at Tyson’s Amarillo, Texas plant by summer 2027; contract volumes and financial terms were not disclosed.
More dependable cattle deliveries could help raise beef-processing throughput, although the partnership does not itself increase the national herd. Improved cattle availability could ease supply constraints over time and put some downward pressure on cattle prices.
