About Us
Who We Are
We are small town, on a national scale. We are more than a business; we are a part of the communities in which we operate, supporting the people and places that make our neighborhoods thrive
We process beef. A lot of beef.
We employ over 4,500 employees across the country. We are privately held and family-run for over 70 Years. That's how we like it, and that's how we will stay.
We bring our common-sense conscience into every aspect of our beef production. No short-cuts, cut-corners or excuses.
Procurement
Cattle Buyers
Our Cattle Buyers are some of the best in the business. They use their knowledge and experience at sale barns, ranches, and feed yards across the nation. By hand-selecting for our high standards, we are able to buy superior quality for favorable cuts. At American Foods Group, we care and work hard to give our customers beef they can trust. We value our long-term relationships with our beef producers throughout the midwest to provide the best possible protein.
