Think of Tyson Foods as an 800-pound chicken -- with a bullish attitude. Already the largest chicken producer, Tyson's purchase of beef and pork giant IBP Fresh Meats made it the largest meat processing company in the world, serving retail, wholesale, and food service customers in the US and more than 80 countries overseas. In addition to fresh meats, Tyson produces processed and pre-cooked meats, refrigerated and frozen prepared foods, and animal feeds. Its chicken operations are vertically integrated -- the company hatches the eggs and then supplies contracted growers with chicks and feed. Don Tyson, son of the founder, controls 80% of Tyson's voting power.
