Tyson to restore Amarillo beef shift ahead of rancher partnership

Tyson Foods plans a long-term partnership with Allied Beef, a consortium of American ranchers, to strengthen its cattle supply chain and support beef production. In anticipation, Tyson has begun restoring a second shift at its Amarillo, Texas, plant and expects it to be fully operational by summer 2027, increasing output and employment. The move comes as tight U.S. cattle supplies have pressured Tyson’s beef business, leading to operating losses, layoffs and plant closures.
