Tyson Beef Plants Reorganize Amid Cattle Shortage | Lubbock News

Tyson Foods is reshaping its beef operations amid a historic cattle shortage, shutting down three plants while bringing back a second shift at Amarillo, Texas—and two others—to focus on just three central U.S. hubs. After cutting over 1,700 jobs last year, the company is now aiming to rebuild capacity as cattle supplies remain tight, with USDA data showing fewer breeding heifers. Plants in Joslin, Illinois, and Eagle Mountain, Utah, are closing, and Pasco, Washington, is up for sale—all to streamline production into more efficient, scalable facilities. Tyson stresses this move is about future competitiveness and protein supply, while pledging support for displaced workers seeking new roles across its network.
