True West Beef hosted an open house at its Jerome, ID, facility on Feb. 25. The 270,000-square-foot facility plans to open in April and will process 500 head per day.
The plant is a new business concept where ranching families invested in the facility provide cattle for the operation and collaborate with Agri Beef.
“There are 40 ranching families who are also owners of True West Beef,” Melissa Delgadillo, public relations manager for True West Beef, told Twin Falls-based television station KMVT. “So (it’s) super exciting to have a processing facility that has so many families involved. We have families right here in the Magic Valley. So, it’s incredible for them to bring their cattle and have them processed here locally.”
The Jerome processing plant will mainly produce under Agri Beef’s Snake River Farms and Double R Ranch labels.
