JBS USA broke ground on a $150 million expansion at its beef production facility in Cactus, TX.
The project includes constructing a fabrication floor and an expanded ground beef room to increase production and support plant operations. Construction has begun and completion is expected in early 2027. The facility employs more than 3,600 workers and purchases about $3.3 billion in cattle each year from producers.
“This groundbreaking marks an important moment for JBS USA, our team in Cactus, and cattle producers,” said Wesley Batista Filho, CEO of JBS USA.
Texas state Rep. Caroline Fairly (R-87) said the project shows continued investment in the Texas Panhandle workforce, agriculture, and the region’s economy.
