You can doubt whatever you wish, but I did not claim the majority of meats came from Tyson processors.
Tyson processes 1 out of every 5 lbs of beef, chicken and pork in the US.
https://www.provisioneronli...d-poultry-processors
One of the things people miss is that not all processors slaughter, cut pack and sell their own meat. Much of what is sold by the #6 and below ranked processors (packers) is purchased from the 3-5 top teir companies of Tyson, JBS and Cargill as either frozen boxed meat, or partially processed whole 1/2 chilled carcasses.
Tyson no longer owns SaraLee, Vanns, or Chef Pierre.
JBS is a south American Company, Smithfield is now owned by the Chinese WH brands, and one of the oldest US processors (National Beef) is 51% owned by another S. American (Brazil) company called Marfrig.

Yeah, Tyson has a lot of employees by count and avoiding them is key.
So how do you buy your meats? I'm assuming you raise beef? But pork, chicken, lamb?
I hate Tyson and always will since the days of the Slick One as well as their illegal alien scheming.

Yes. I raise beef.
I don't buy much chicken or pork and never buy lamb.
Mostly buy at Costco now if forced to but I prefer to buy it all, where the girl brings it to me at a table and it's already cooked and plated.
Just the 2 of us here now, so it's almost always beef if I have any say in it.
I do keep lots of meat here in the freezer, but I probably don't buy it any differently than most people here in OT.
Whether I buy beef at the grocer or eat one of my own is usually dependent on what I have walking around and what it's worth alive versus what it would cost me to buy at grocer.
The profit margin for a small producer like myself is very slim.[This message has been edited by maryjane (edited 12-22-2020).]
