AMARILLO, TEXAS — Producer Owned Beef LLC, a beef processing facility owned by cattle producers and operated by beef processing veterans, recently received an extension for the company to obtain a building permit and certification of occupancy for its project.

The Amarillo City Council approved the request by moving the deadline from May 2027 to December 2027.
