Alejandro and Humberto are great leaders of what integrity means at Friona Industries. 🙌 “They always go the extra mile and never complain.” “Both Humberto and Alejandro are strong communicators, especially with procurement in acknowledging their message or planning for incoming cattle.” “They are always taking initiative that sets the rest of the yard’s team up for ease and success.”  At Friona Industries, integrity is the foundation of our team’s reputation and long-term success. We’re proud to have teammates, like Alejandro and Humberto, who use integrity in their everyday work. See how our entire team approaches integrity across all parts of our feedyard operations: https://bit.ly/3WvQw1J #FrionaIndustries #BeefIndustry #Feedlot 

No summer breaks when it comes to caring for cattle. 💪  When mother nature brings drought or excessive rain conditions, we care for both our team members AND cattle to combat these weather hurdles.  Situations like this are all hands-on deck, and we’re proud to have teams across our feedyard who are happy to step in and get the job done.  From extra daily monitoring of the water supply to feeding time adjustments for ample intake and keeping a close eye on heat stress indicators, our team’s passion is caring for our horses and cattle. And it shows in the health, well-being and happiness of each Friona Industries animal.  Find out how our passion for beef shows in our caretaking approach: https://bit.ly/4dnuC7y #FrionaIndustries #BeefIndustry #Feedlot 

A better future means sustainably producing beef and supporting the next generation of livestock producers. From FFA and 4-H projects to making their national junior livestock dreams a reality, we are proud to fund their industry passions. Seeing the pride and dedication come through in how they raise and care for their livestock, we know the industry has a bright future.  We’re committed to making a positive impact in our communities and the world around us.  At Friona Industries, causes like these are part of something bigger: https://bit.ly/3Aau5I5 #FrionaIndustries #BeefIndustry #Feedlot 

All duties on the yard are done with the team in mind. Every action makes a bigger impact than what meets the eye and affects how each department functions in achieving our goal of responsibly producing beef. Fresh paint is more than just a clean appearance. It helps amplify safety features and a sense of pride in keeping all teams safe. Building extra water storage tanks aren’t just to store supply, it helps us remain efficient. Installing a new corn probe doesn’t just offer newer tools, it allows the team to be more precise and efficient with the equipment they use on the yard. At Friona Industries, we know we can achieve greater things together: https://bit.ly/3zqgv2P #FrionaIndustries #BeefIndustry #Feedlot 

How do we approach improving environmental stewardship at Friona? ✅ Incorporating a sustainable feeding approach to produce high-quality beef with less environmental impact. ✅ Sourcing local feedstuffs to create shorter hauls for trucking. ✅ Giving properly composted manure new life as fertilizer on neighboring farmers’ fields. ✅ Feeding upcycled byproducts loaded with nutrients for our cattle To us, it’s not just a way to move the industry forward, it’s the right thing to do: https://bit.ly/3VHorUR #FrionaIndustries #BeefIndustry #Feedlot 

One thing we know for sure that will be on our plates this holiday weekend – beef. More than 160 million Americans will celebrate Fourth of July with a picnic or barbecue that will include delicious food grown by people dedicated to feeding the world. Even on holidays, farmers and ranchers are up before the sunrise and work past sundown. But it’s all worth it when we’re able to enjoy nutritious food together with our loved ones. We raise a fork (or spatula) to ranchers and farmers to grocers and everyone in between – thank you! We’re proud to be a part of this industry. #FrionaIndustries #BeefIndustry #Feedlot #FourthofJuly
