$100M Meatpacking Facility Opens In Kuna, ID; Jobs Still Being Filled
June 12, 2017 | 1 min to read
CS Beef Packers began work at the new Kuna plant on Tuesday to harvest and process cattle in the area; it is expected to employ around 700 people eventually.
The 370,000-square-foot facility will harvest cull cows and bulls from dairy farms and cattle ranches throughout the Intermountain West. The plant also includes hide and rendering processing, and will process niche-fed beef programs.
The location provides local and regional producers a cost-effective processing solution by eliminating the need to transport cattle hundreds of miles to more distant packing plants. There are an estimated 600,000 dairy cows and more than 600,000 beef cows in the region.
