PROFILE |
 |
Sanderson Farms is making (chicken) scratches on the surface of the poultry processing field. The company sells fresh and frozen chicken in whole, cut-up, and boneless forms under the Sanderson Farms label. The company markets to retailers, distributors, and fast-food restaurants, mainly in the southern and western US. Although independent farmers raise the chicks, Sanderson Farms runs five hatcheries, four feed mills, and six processing plants, primarily in Mississippi and Texas. Its prepared foods division (about 12% of sales) sells more than 200 processed and prepared food items, including frozen entrees such as chicken and dumplings and lasagna. The founding Sanderson family owns 55% of the company.
