A first-of-its-kind beef processing facility will help level the playing field for cattle producers in its region.
Ross Wilson, a consultant for Producer Owned Beef, says the recently announced facility, located in Amarillo, Texas, will reverse the compensation disparities currently facing cattle producers. “It’s about capturing a share of that income or that dollar that today is, is being captured by predominantly the large four packing plants that process, 80 to 85 percent of the fed cattle in the nation,” he says.
