Tyson to restore Amarillo production shift 

Tyson Foods plans to partner with Allied Beef Company, a group of American ranchers, to strengthen its cattle supply and support beef production.

The proposed partnership would connect ranchers directly with Tyson and aims to create more business opportunities across the supply chain. In anticipation of the agreement, Tyson is restoring the second production shift at its Amarillo, TX, beef plant. Some operations have resumed, with the full shift expected to return by summer 2027.

Allied Beef said working directly with Tyson could offer ranchers new opportunities and help build a lasting relationship benefiting producers, the company and American beef consumers.
