Tyson Foods, Inc.

The Pine Bluff, Arkansas plant at 5505 Jefferson Parkway is listed in the USDA FSIS directory under Tyson Foods, Inc., with establishment numbers M13456, P13456, and V13456. The federal record lists FSIS activities of poultry slaughter, poultry processing, meat processing, and export certification, and reports poultry as the species slaughtered under inspection. FSIS classifies the establishment as large, with a slaughter volume category of 5.0, the highest band in the directory's scale. The grant of inspection date on file is August 30, 2021. The record also lists several doing-business-as names associated with the establishment: Brennan Packing Co., Inc., Delightful Farms, Prospect Farms, Spare Time, TSD Sales and Distribution, Tyson Sales and Distribution, Inc., and Victor F. Weaver Co.

The website on file is the corporate site for Tyson Foods, tysonfoods.com, which describes the parent company rather than this specific plant. The company site states that Tyson Foods is a multi-national, protein-focused food company producing approximately 20 percent of the beef, pork, and chicken in the United States, with fiscal year 2025 sales of $54 billion and roughly 133,000 team members as of February 2026. It lists brands including Tyson, Jimmy Dean, Hillshire Farm, Ball Park, Wright, Aidells, State Fair, IBP, and Hillshire Snacking, and describes selling through club stores, grocery stores, and discount stores as well as supplying restaurant chains, schools, military bases, hospitals, and nursing homes.

No custom-exempt activity is reported to FSIS for this establishment, which means the federal record does not show it processing individual farmers' animals for return to the owner. Plant-level details such as hours, retail sales, live receiving arrangements, or booking practices are not stated in the sources and are not yet on file.

The federal record reports poultry as the only species slaughtered under inspection here, and it reports no custom-exempt activity, so there is no indication in the sources that the plant processes animals for return to an individual owner. The establishment is classified as large with the highest FSIS slaughter volume category, consistent with high-volume commercial poultry operations rather than per-animal custom work. Live receiving requirements, contract grower arrangements, scheduling, and fees are not described in the sources. Producers should contact the plant at (870) 247-6001 to learn what arrangements, if any, exist.

Tyson Foods, Inc. operates under a federal grant of inspection, so product from this plant can be sold anywhere in the United States, which matters if you sell online or across a state line. FSIS does not list a custom-exempt activity for this plant.

The sources do not describe a retail counter, farm store, bundles, halves or quarters, online ordering, or shipping at this location. The corporate Tyson Foods site states that company products are sold through club stores, grocery stores, and discount stores under brands including Tyson, Jimmy Dean, Hillshire Farm, Ball Park, Wright, Aidells, and State Fair, but it does not tie any direct-to-consumer sales to the Pine Bluff plant.

If you are buying a half or quarter animal, the plant is where the animal is processed; the farm sells you the animal. Read how to buy a half cow for the sequence and the math.
