About Friona Industries LP

Friona Industries, L. P. began as a 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 retail stores in the U.S.
