Think of Tyson Foods as a 600-pound chicken with a bullish attitude. One of the largest US chicken producers, Tyson's Fresh Meats division makes it a giant in the beef and pork sectors as well. In addition to fresh meats, the company offers value-added processed and pre-cooked meats, and refrigerated and frozen prepared foods. Its chicken operations are vertically integrated -- the company hatches the eggs, supplies contract growers with the chicks and feed, and brings them back for processing when ready. Tyson processes 41 million chickens, 393,000 head of pork, and 139,000 head of beef every week. Its customers include retail, wholesale, and foodservice customers in the US and more than 90 other countries. To read the full description, subscribe now.
