The U.S. Premium Beef Class A units referred to in the two sections below (Class A Delivery Rights Available Starting 12/31/23 - Delivery Year 2024) and (Class A Delivery Rights Available Starting 12/29/24 - Delivery Year 2025) can only be used to deliver finished cattle to National Beef’s plants in Liberal and Dodge City, Kansas.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Formed in 1996, U.S. Premium Beef, LLC (USPB) is an integrated cattle production, processing and marketing company which provides U.S. beef producers an opportunity to retain ownership of the beef they produce, from the ranch to retail. It is owned by beef producers who produce high quality cattle that are processed into value-added beef products, which are designed to meet consumers' demands.
USPB unitholders and associates market finished beef cattle on a value-based grid through National Beef Packing Co., LLC (National Beef), one of the largest beef processing companies in the United States. National Beef, of which USPB is a minority owner, develops and markets value-added and branded beef products, including Black Canyon® Angus Beef, NatureSource® Natural Angus Beef, Certified Angus Beef® and Certified Hereford Beef®. It has an international reputation for quality and reliability.
National Beef owns National Carriers, Inc., a refrigerated and livestock transportation company that provides transportation services for NBP and third parties. National Beef also owns The Kansas City Steak Company, LLC (Kansas City Steak) and National Beef Leathers, LLC (NBP Leathers). Kansas City Steak is a portion control steak cutting operation, which sells portioned beef and other products directly to customers in the food service and retail channels as well as direct to consumers through the internet, direct mail and the QVC shopping network. NBP Leathers operates a wet blue tanning facility that sells processed hides to tanners that produce finished leathers for the automotive, luxury goods, apparel and furniture industries. Wet blue tanning refers to the first step in processing raw and brine-cured hides into tanned leather.
USPB unitholders share in the financial results of National Beef. As a result, the more profitable National Beef is, the greater the opportunity for our unitholders to receive cash distributions from USPB. This provides a direct economic incentive to produce high quality beef for National Beef's consumer markets.
