Friona Industries LP Information

Friona Industries, L. P. began as single small cattle feedyard in Amarillo, TX, in 1962 as the beef industry began to recognize the resources that existed in the Texas panhandle. Founding partners, like A.L. Black, were a group of cattle feeders who could see beyond the cattle to all the other businesses that cattle feeding supported: meat processing, feed manufacturing, and trucking, to name just a few. Today, privately held Friona Industries has eight state-of-the-art feedyards in Texas and Kansas, with a feeding capacity that ranks us in the top 2 feedyards worldwide. We continue to focus on a vertically aligned production system that creates a consistent, safe, tender and flavorful beef for branded product lines marketed in 2,300 retails stores in the U.S
