Inventory Disclosure [Abstract]  
Inventories INVENTORIES
Processed products, livestock and supplies and other are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost includes purchased raw materials, live purchase costs, growout costs (primarily feed, grower pay and catch and haul costs), labor and manufacturing and production overhead, which are related to the purchase and production of inventories. At June 29, 2019, the cost of inventories was determined by either the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method or the weighted-average method, which is consistent with the methods used at September 29, 2018.
