 PROFILE
Pilgrim's Pride is climbing the barnyard pecking order. The company is the second-largest chicken processor in the US (trailing Tyson Foods) following its purchase of WLR Foods, which also added turkey products to Pilgrim's diet. Pilgrim's operations entail breeding, hatching, raising, processing, distributing, and marketing poultry. Prepared poultry products, which account for 43% of sales, are sold under the Pilgrim's Pride and Wampler Foods brands to restaurants, grocery stores, and frozen entree makers. It also sells fresh whole and cut-up chicken. The company sells its products in North America, Eastern Europe, and Asia. Chairman Lonnie "Bo" Pilgrim and his family own about 61% of the company.
