USHolcomb, Finney County, Kansas · manufacturing
6,000 head/day capacity — Tyson's second-largest beef plant. August 9, 2019: fire shut the plant indefinitely; represented 5-6% of US beef processing capacity.

During closure, cattle markets were distorted: beef processors simultaneously raised retail prices and cut cattle producer prices, citing reduced capacity. USDA investigated pricing behavior during the closure.
