The mix of additional cattle to be harvested will come from regional ranchers, dairies as well as area feedyards.
Caviness Beef Packers, Amarillo, Texas, announced plans to expand its Hereford, Texas, beef facility to enable the addition of a second harvest and processing shift.
This expansion will bring 600 additional jobs to the facility, and enable Caviness to process an additional 800 head per day, bringing the total daily capacity to 2,600 head. Construction for this project will begin in October, with completion expected to be in early fall of 2019.
