April&nbsp;30 of each year (e.g., &#147;fiscal year 2006&#148; is the fiscal year ending on April&nbsp;30, 2006). In this prospectus supplement when we refer to financial information on a &#147;pro forma basis,&#148; we mean pro forma for the
acquisition of Premium Standard Farms, Inc. (PSF). When we refer to financial information on a &#147;pro forma as adjusted basis,&#148; we mean pro forma for the acquisition of PSF, the repayment of the PSF Loan Agreement from the U.S. Revolver
prior to the completion of this offering, this offering and application of the net proceeds of this offering. </I></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>The following summary

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We are the largest hog producer and pork processor in the world and the fifth largest beef processor in the United States. We conduct our business through six reporting segments, Pork, Beef, International, Hog
Production (HP), Other and Corporate, each of which is comprised of a number of subsidiaries. Each of the segments has certain joint ventures and other investments in addition to their main operations. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Pork segment consists mainly of United States (U.S.) fresh pork, packaged meats and processed meat operations. The Pork segment produces a wide
variety of fresh pork and processed meat products in the U.S. and markets them nationwide and to numerous foreign markets, including Japan, Mexico, Canada and Australia. The Pork segment currently operates over 40 processing plants. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Beef segment is composed mainly of U.S. beef processing operations and our cattle feeding operations and interests in cattle feeding operations. The
Beef segment primarily produces boxed beef and ground beef (both chub and case ready) and markets these products in large portions of the U.S. We process cattle at four plants (two in the Midwest, one in the Northeast and one in the Southwest), with
a current aggregate processing capacity of 7,600 cattle per day. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The International segment is comprised of international meat processing
operations, mainly in Poland, Romania and the United Kingdom, and our interests in international meat processing operations, mainly in Western Europe, Mexico, Romania and China. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As a complement to the Pork and International segments, we have vertically integrated into hog production. The HP segment consists mainly of hog
production operations located in the U.S., Poland and Romania and our interests in hog production operations, mainly in Mexico and Brazil. The HP segment operates numerous hog production facilities producing about 17 million market hogs annually.
Additional hogs are produced through joint ventures. The HP segment produces approximately 59% of the Pork segment&#146;s live hog requirements and approximately 66% of the International segment&#146;s live hog requirements. With the acquisition of
PSF, we expect these percentages to increase. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

products in the U.S., producing pork products for the retail, wholesale, foodservice, further processor and export markets. PSF has become a recognized leader in the pork industry through its vertically integrated business model that combines
modern, efficient production and processing facilities, sophisticated genetics, and strict control over the variables of health, diet and environment. PSF is one of the largest pork processors in the U.S. with processing facilities in Missouri and
North Carolina. PSF is also one of the largest owners of sows in the U.S. with operations located in Missouri, North Carolina and Texas. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

$1.25 in cash. We used available funds under our $1.2 billion revolving credit facility (the U.S. Revolver) to pay for the cash portion of the consideration under the Merger Agreement. </FONT></P> <P

marketed to retail grocers, delis, restaurants and other foodservice establishments. As a result of the acquisition, we estimate that we have added approximately 530&nbsp;million pounds annually of packaged meats, almost all of which are branded,
with large market shares in hot dogs, dinner sausages and luncheon meats. For the twelve months immediately prior to the acquisition, Armour-Eckrich had net sales of approximately $1,038.2 million. This acquisition advances our strategy of growing
the packaged meats business, utilizing raw materials internally, as well as migrating to higher margin, convenience products. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Butterball

Prior to the August 2006 contribution to Groupe Smithfield, sales from the contributed French operations were $98.9 million for the 39 weeks ended January 28, 2007. They were $95.0 million and $286.1 million for the 13 and 39 weeks ended January 29,

adjustment. Cook&#146;s, based in Lincoln, Nebraska, is a producer of traditional and spiral sliced smoked bone-in hams, corned beef and other smoked meats items sold to supermarket chains and grocers throughout the U.S. and Canada. As a result of
the acquisition, we estimate that we have added approximately 275 million pounds annually of products, almost all of which are traditional and spiral sliced smoked bone-in hams. For the twelve months immediately prior to the acquisition, Cook&#146;s

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Improved margins in both packaged meats and fresh pork produced gains in the Pork segment. Packaged meats volume grew 31 percent, primarily the result of the contributions of Armour-Eckrich, acquired in October 2006.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Beef processing margins improved versus a loss in the prior year period, in spite of limited exports and a shortage of cattle. However,
beef processing earnings were more than offset by losses in our cattle feeding operations which were depressed by severe winter weather, higher grain prices and higher-priced feeder cattle purchased earlier in the year. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">International segment operations improved over the prior year period. Packaged meats volume increased 26 percent when the results of Jean Caby, which was
contributed to Groupe Smithfield in August 2006, are excluded. Groupe Smithfield continued its strong earnings performance and our operations in Poland were profitable versus a loss last year. Our operations in Romania experienced only a modest loss
due to lower volume levels. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Hog production results were below the prior year period due to higher raising costs and the impact of
circovirus. Raising costs in the U.S. averaged $46 per hundredweight versus $40 per hundredweight last year. We marketed nine percent fewer head domestically in the fourth quarter versus the same quarter last year. Live hog market prices in the U.S.
averaged $47 per hundredweight compared with $42 per hundredweight in the prior year period. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Results in our Other segment were below those
of the prior year period because of higher raising costs in our turkey growout operations versus favorable market conditions for live turkeys in the prior year period. The lower results in growout operations were partly offset by higher volume and
cost reductions in processing operations at Butterball, LLC, our 49 percent-owned joint venture. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

million, or $1.49 per diluted share, versus net income for the prior year period of $172.7 million, or $1.54 per diluted share. Sales were $11.9 billion compared to $11.4 billion in the prior year. Fiscal 2007 results include pretax charges of $12.4
million, or $.07 per diluted share, for impairments in the Beef segment ($8.2 million related to reflect the write down of leased equipment at Showcase Foods) and our investment in hog production operations in Brazil. Prior fiscal year results
include pretax charges totaling $26.3 million, or $.14 per diluted share, in connection with the restructuring of east coast pork processing operations. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In August 2006 (fiscal 2007), we completed the sale of substantially all of the assets and business of Quik-to-Fix for net proceeds of $28.2 million. As a result, Quik-to-Fix is reported as a discontinued operation.
During fiscal 2007, we recorded an after-tax write down on the assets of Quik-to-Fix totaling $12.3 million, net of $6.9 million of taxes, in anticipation of the sale. Sales of Quik-to-Fix were $21.5 million and $103.2 million for the fiscal years
ended April 29, 2007 and April 28, 2006, respectively. Quik-to-Fix had an after-tax loss of $3.9 million and $7.6 for the fiscal years ended April 29, 2007 and April 28, 2006, respectively. The tax benefit totaled $2.2 million and $4.1 million for
the respective years. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In April 2007 (fiscal 2007), we decided to exit the alternative fuels business and dispose of substantially all the
assets of Smithfield Bioenergy, LLC (SBE). As a result, SBE is being reported as a discontinued operation. Sales of SBE totaled $14.0 million for the fiscal year ended April 29, 2007 and had no sales for the fiscal year ended April 28, 2006. SBE had
an after-tax loss of $5.5 million and $5.0 million for the fiscal years ended April 29, 2007 and April 28, 2006 respectively. The tax benefit totaled $3.2 million and $2.7 million for the respective years. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Pork segment earnings were above those of last year, reflecting the prior year&#146;s restructuring charges, the successful integration of Armour-Eckrich

SIZE="2">Beef processing achieved earnings above the prior year period in spite of unfavorable industry conditions and the $8.2 million impairment charge described above. These results were partially offset by cattle feeding losses. Also
contributing to the increase is the prior year effect of a $13.8 million charge during fiscal 2006 to write down cattle inventory at our Five Rivers facility to live cattle market prices. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">International profitability, compared to a loss last year, reflected improvement in all aspects of our European operations. Groupe Smithfield, the 50/50
joint venture with Oaktree Capital Management established with the acquisition of the Sara Lee European Meats business last August, has been showing consistently strong margin performance. Our operations in Poland continued their earnings turnaround
and remained solidly profitable while Romania, which successfully reopened an idle pork processing plant in November, was also profitable in spite of startup costs. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Hog production results were well below last year as raising costs increased, partially offset by commodity gains in the current year period that are greater than the commodity gains in the prior year period by $23.6
million. As a result of the impact of circovirus, the number of head marketed domestically fell six percent. Live hog market prices domestically averaged almost $48 per hundredweight versus $46 in the prior year period. Raising costs in the U.S.
were $43 per hundredweight versus $39 per hundredweight in the prior year period. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Butterball, LLC turkey processing results were well
above a year ago. However, turkey production results were depressed by higher grain prices and earnings were sharply lower than in the prior year period. Combined turkey operating results were improved over last year. </FONT></P> <P

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We account for derivative financial instruments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (SFAS 133), &#147;Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,&#148; as amended.
SFAS 133 requires that all derivatives be recorded in the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities at fair value. Accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on whether it qualifies and has been designated as part of a
hedging relationship. For derivatives that qualify and have been designated as hedges for accounting purposes, changes in fair value have no net impact on earnings until the hedged item is recognized in earnings but only to the extent the derivative
is considered perfectly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the risk being hedged, (commonly referred to as the &#147;hedge accounting&#148; method). For derivatives that do not qualify or are not
designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes, changes in fair value are recorded in current period earnings (commonly referred to as the &#147;mark-to-market&#148; method). </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Application of the hedge accounting method under SFAS 133 requires significant resources, extensive record keeping and systems. As a result of rising
compliance costs and the complexity associated with the application of hedge accounting, we elected to discontinue the use of hedge accounting for our commodity derivatives during the third quarter of fiscal 2007. All existing commodity hedging
relationships were de-designated as of January 1, 2007. We have also elected not to apply hedge designations for any exchange traded commodity derivative contracts entered into since January 1, 2007. </FONT></P> <P

and SunTrust Capital Markets, Inc. are lenders under the U.S. Revolver. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., an affiliate of J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., is Administrative Agent and a lender under the U.S. Revolver. In the future, we expect to use

SIZE="2">The following table sets forth summary selected historical consolidated financial information and other data of Smithfield for the periods presented. The selected financial information, exclusive of certain line items in Other Data, as of
May 2, 2004, May 1, 2005 and April 30, 2006, and for each of the three fiscal years then ended, has been derived from our consolidated financial statements, which have been audited by Ernst &amp; Young LLP, independent registered public accountants.
The selected financial information, exclusive of certain line items in Other Data, as of January 29, 2006 and January 28, 2007, and for each of the 39-week periods then ended, has been derived from our unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements which include, in the opinion of our management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our results of operations and financial position for the periods and dates presented. The results of
operations for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or any other interim period. This financial information and other data should be read in conjunction with the respective audited and unaudited consolidated
financial statements of Smithfield, including the related notes, incorporated in this prospectus supplement by reference. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The table also
includes summary selected pro forma combined condensed financial information and other data. The pro forma amounts are based on the historical consolidated financial statements and the related notes of Smithfield and PSF and have been prepared to
give effect to the PSF acquisition as if the merger had occurred at January 28, 2007 (for balance sheet information) and at the beginning of the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006 (for statement of income data). The pro forma financial information
does not purport to represent what our results of operations or financial position would have been if the merger had occurred as of the dates indicated or what such results will be for future periods. The selected unaudited pro forma combined
condensed financial data for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006 included in the table below includes the results of Cook&#146;s for four weeks and does not include the Groupe Smithfield, Armour-Eckrich or Butterball transactions. The selected
unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial data for the 39 weeks ended January 28, 2007 includes the results of Armour-Eckrich for 18 weeks and the benefit of our investments in Groupe Smithfield for 25 weeks and Butterball for 18 weeks. The
Cook&#146;s, Groupe Smithfield, Armour-Eckrich and Butterball transactions are described in &#147;&#151;Recent Developments&#148; in this prospectus supplement and in &#147;Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations&#148; in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended January 28, 2007. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

our fiscal 2006 fourth quarter and fiscal 2007 first half financial results were impacted negatively by an over-supply of protein which decreased selling prices of our fresh and processed meats. Also, recent expansion of pork processing capacity by

outbreak of disease elsewhere in the U.S. or even in other countries could reduce consumer confidence in the meat products affected by the particular disease, generate adverse publicity and result in the imposition of import or export restrictions.
For example, in 2003, a Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) outbreak in Canada resulted in a U.S. import restriction on live cattle from Canada. The resulting drop in the live cattle supply in the U.S. led to increased prices for live cattle and
placed pressure on margins in our Beef segment. The subsequent discovery of isolated cases of BSE in the U.S. led to bans imposed by key Asian markets on beef imports from the U.S. Restrictions imposed by these markets are gradually lifting but
continue to limit the amount of beef products that can be imported from the U.S. Similarly, the presence of classical swine fever in Romania has led certain countries, including all of those in the European Union, to impose bans of indefinite
duration on imports of pork products from Romania. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Outbreaks of avian influenza in various parts of the world in 2006 reduced global

prohibits and restricts the ability of meatpackers, or in some cases corporations generally, from owning livestock or engaging in farming. In the second quarter of fiscal 2006, we entered into a settlement agreement with the State of Iowa whereby
the state agreed not to enforce its restrictive legislation on us for a period of ten years. As a part of our settlement, we committed to pay $200,000 per year for 10 years to support various programs benefiting the swine industry in Iowa. We also
agreed to purchase a specified minimum number of hogs to be processed by us in Iowa and South Dakota on the open market for two years. In connection with our acquisition of PSF in May 2007, we acquired six farms in Missouri outside of the counties
exempted from Missouri&#146;s anti-corporate farming law. Under an agreement we reached with the Attorney General of the State of Missouri, we have promised to divest these farms within 24 months. We cannot assure you that we will be able to divest
these farms on terms that are fair to us. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The State of North Carolina has enacted a moratorium on the construction of farms with more than
250 hogs or the expansion of existing large farms. The moratorium limits us from expanding our North Carolina production operations. The moratorium is scheduled to expire in September 2007. However, legislation currently pending in the North
Carolina General Assembly would establish, in effect, a permanent moratorium on the construction of new farms using the lagoon and sprayfield system. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Other states have similar legislation restricting the ability of corporations or others from owning livestock farms or engaging in farming. In addition, Congress is currently considering federal legislation that would
ban meat packers from owning livestock. We cannot assure you that such or similar legislation affecting our operations will not be adopted at the federal or state levels in the future. Such legislation, if adopted and applicable to our current

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We could experience financial or other setbacks if any of the businesses that we have acquired or may acquire in the future have problems of which we are not aware or liabilities that exceed expectations. For example,
PSF is currently a defendant in eight lawsuits filed in Missouri based on the laws of nuisance and involving an aggregate of 71 plaintiffs. One of the lawsuits sought to create a class of plaintiffs living within 10 miles of PSF&#146;s farms in
northern Missouri, including contract grower farms. Plaintiffs in that case have dropped their request for class certification and now approximately 200 new plaintiffs seek to be added to the case. Another of the lawsuits resulted in a jury verdict
for six former plaintiffs of compensatory damages in the aggregate amount of $4.5 million as well as punitive damages that were waived in settlement. Although we intend to continue PSF&#146;s vigorous defense of these claims, we cannot assure you
that we will be successful, that additional nuisance claims will not arise in the future or that the PSF reserves for litigation will not have to be increased. For example, we and certain of our contract growers are defendants in a lawsuit recently
filed in Missouri based on the laws of nuisance and involving 13 plaintiffs. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>We are subject to risks associated with our international sales and

on the availability, retention and relative costs of labor and maintaining satisfactory relations with employees and the labor unions. Labor relations issues arise from time to time, including issues in connection with union efforts to represent
employees at our plants. For example, United Food and Commercial Workers is currently engaged in a campaign to represent employees at our Tar Heel, North Carolina plant, where we have experienced work stoppages, walk-outs and attempts to organize
boycotts. Some of these activities occurred in connection with immigration enforcement activities relating to suspected undocumented workers at that plant. If we fail to maintain satisfactory relations with our employees or with the unions, we may
experience labor strikes or other consequences similar or in addition to the type of activities discussed above. None of these activities have had any material impact on our financial statements to date, however, we cannot assure you that these
activities will not have a material impact in the future. In addition, the discovery by us or governmental authorities of undocumented workers could result in our having to replace those workers, which could be disruptive to our operations.

pay the approximately $40.0 million cash portion of the PSF acquisition price and will be used prior to the completion of this offering to repay indebtedness of approximately $125.0 million outstanding under the PSF Loan Agreement. Affiliates of
Banc of America Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Rabo Securities USA, Inc., Goldman, Sachs &amp; Co., ING Financial Markets, LLC, SG Americas Securities, LLC and SunTrust Capital Markets, Inc. are lenders under the U.S. Revolver.

discontinued operations and net income include an after-tax write down of the assets of our subsidiary Quik-to-Fix Foods, Inc. totaling (Quik-to-Fix) $10.4 million, net of tax of $5.9 million. We consummated the sale of Quik-to-Fix in the second

computing the ratios of earnings to fixed charges, earnings are divided by fixed charges. Earnings represent the aggregate of income from continuing operations before taxes and fixed charges (excluding capitalized interest). Fixed charges represent
interest on indebtedness (including capitalized interest), amortization of deferred debt issuance costs and an estimate of the interest portion of fixed rent expense (estimated to be one-third). </FONT></P> <P

to be a substitute for measurements under GAAP, and the items excluded in determining EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Calculations of EBITDA may vary for other companies. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We believe EBITDA is defined in a manner substantially consistent with the definition of EBITDA used in the supplemental indenture relating to the notes.
In addition, we believe EBITDA facilitates company to company comparisons by backing out potential differences caused by variation in capital structure (affecting interest expense), taxation and the age and book depreciation of facilities and
equipment (affecting relative depreciation expense), which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to general performance or liquidity. While EBITDA and similar measures are frequently used as measures of operations and the ability to
meet debt service requirements, these terms are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to the potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation. EBITDA does not represent net income or cash flow
from operations as those terms are defined by GAAP and does not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating earnings, net income or net cash provided
by operating activities (or any other measure of performance determined in accordance with GAAP) or as a measure of our ability to meet our cash needs. There are inherent limitations in the use of EBITDA as an analytical tool and you should not
consider this measure in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: </FONT></P> <P STYLE="font-size:6px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>

indenture relating to the notes. In addition, we believe EBITDA facilitates company to company comparisons by backing out potential differences caused by variation in capital structure (affecting interest expense), taxation and the age and book
depreciation of facilities and equipment (affecting relative depreciation expense), which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to general performance or liquidity. While EBITDA and similar measures are frequently used as measures
of operations and the ability to meet debt service requirements, these terms are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to the potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation. EBITDA does not
represent net income or cash flow from operations as those terms are defined by GAAP and does not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating earnings,
net income or net cash provided by operating activities (or any other measure of performance determined in accordance with GAAP) or as a measure of our ability to meet our cash needs. There are inherent limitations in the use of EBITDA as an
analytical tool and you should not consider this measure in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: </FONT></P> <P

effect to the merger as if the merger had occurred at the balance sheet date and at the beginning of the fiscal year ending April 30, 2006. Because the fiscal years of Smithfield and PSF are different, PSF&#146;s unaudited condensed balance sheet as
of December&nbsp;23, 2006 and the unaudited pro forma combined condensed income statement for the 39 weeks ended December&nbsp;23, 2006 and the fiscal year ended March&nbsp;25, 2006 have been used in preparing the unaudited pro forma combined

Agreement.&nbsp;U.S. Bank National Association is a lender and the agent for the other lenders for the PSF Loan Agreement.&nbsp;The Agreement&nbsp;provides for a $175 million revolving credit facility and a $125 million term
facility.&nbsp;Borrowings under the PSF Loan Agreement are secured by a security interest in, and mortgages on, substantially all of the inventory, breeding stock and receivables of PSF, as well as the PSF production and processing facilities in
Missouri and North Carolina.&nbsp;At March&nbsp;31, 2007, PSF had no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility, $13.1 million in letters of credit and $161.9 available for borrowing.&nbsp;It had $125 million outstanding under the
term facility.&nbsp;All borrowings under the revolving credit facility mature in 2010.&nbsp;The term loan matures in 2015.&nbsp;We agreed to repay amounts borrowed under the PSF Loan Agreement earlier than such maturity dates in connection with PSF
acquisition. Amounts borrowed under the PSF Loan Agreement bear interest at variable rates based on either the agent&#146;s base rate or LIBOR, plus an applicable margin.&nbsp;PSF entered into an interest rate swap to convert the variable rate on
the $125 million term loan to a fixed rate.&nbsp;The PSF Loan Agreement contains both positive and negative covenants similar to those in our U.S. Revolver, including a limit on the amount of cash dividends that PSF may pay.&nbsp;In April 2007, PSF
received a waiver and consent under the PSF Loan Agreement to allow the merger transaction with our subsidiary to take place.&nbsp;As set forth in &#147;Use of Proceeds,&#148; we intend to repay all amounts outstanding under the PSF&nbsp;Loan

This breach will constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture if it continues for a period of 30 consecutive days after written notice is given to us by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes
outstanding. In addition, the failure by us to repurchase Notes at the conclusion of the Change of Control Offer will constitute an Event of Default without any waiting period or notice requirements. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The occurrence of a Change of Control would constitute a default under the Revolving Credit Facility. In addition, certain events that may constitute a

limited to, certain events which would constitute a Change of Control) to make an offer to repurchase the 2004 Senior Notes, the 2003 Senior Notes, 2001 Senior Notes, the 1998 Notes and the Senior Secured Notes. Our future Indebtedness and that of
our Subsidiaries may contain prohibitions on certain events which would constitute a Change of Control or require such Indebtedness to be repurchased upon a Change of Control. Moreover, the exercise by the holders of their right to require us to
repurchase the Notes, the 2004 Senior Notes, the 2003 Senior Notes, the 2001 Senior Notes, the 1998 Notes or the Senior Secured Notes could cause a default under agreements evidencing such Indebtedness, even if the Change of Control itself does not,
due to the financial effect on us of such repurchase. Finally, our ability to pay cash to the Holders upon a repurchase may be limited by our then existing financial resources. There can be no assurance that sufficient funds will be available when
necessary to make any required repurchases of either of the Notes or of any Indebtedness outstanding that would prohibit such a Note repurchase. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

interpretation. Accordingly, in certain circumstances there may be a degree of uncertainty in ascertaining whether a particular transaction would involve a disposition of &#147;all or substantially all&#148; of the property or assets of a Person,

of funds and corresponding detail information from the Company or its agent on the payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC&#146;s records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing
instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in &#147;street name,&#148; and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, the Company or the
trustee, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal and interest to Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the
responsibility of the Company or its agent, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect

issued thereunder, and rulings and decisions currently in effect (or in some cases proposed), all of which are subject to change. Any such change may be applied retroactively and may adversely affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences
described herein. <B>This discussion does not deal with all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to particular investors who are not Non-U.S. Holders or to investors subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income
tax laws, nor does it deal with the tax consequences under the laws of any foreign, state or local taxing jurisdictions. Accordingly, prospective investors are urged to consult their own tax advisers with respect to the U.S. federal, state and local
tax consequences of investing in the notes, as well as any consequences arising under the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction to which they may be subject. </B> </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

behalf of the underwriters, may purchase and sell notes in the open market. These transactions may include over-allotment, syndicate covering transactions and stabilizing transactions. Over-allotment involves syndicate sales of notes in excess of
the principal amount of notes to be purchased by the underwriters in the offering, which creates a syndicate short position. Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the notes in the open market after the distribution has been completed
in order to cover syndicate short positions. Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or purchases of notes made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the notes while the offering is in progress.

<A NAME="tx73641_5a"></A>DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The term Debt Securities includes our Senior Debt Securities and our
Subordinated Debt Securities. We will issue the Senior Debt Securities in one or more series under a Senior Indenture between us and U.S. Bank National Association (U.S. Bank), or another trustee chosen by us, and the Subordinated Debt Securities in
one or more series under a Subordinated Indenture between us and U.S. Bank, or another trustee chosen by us. The Senior Indenture and the Subordinated Indenture are called the Indentures in this prospectus. We have summarized selected provisions of
the Indentures below. The forms of the Senior Indenture and the Subordinated Indenture have been filed as exhibits to the registration statement, and you should read the Indentures for provisions that may be important to you. In the summary below,
we have included references to section numbers of the Indentures so that you can easily locate these provisions. Capitalized terms used in this description have the meanings specified in the Indentures. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>General </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Unless the applicable prospectus supplement
states otherwise, the Senior Debt Securities will be our direct, unsecured obligations and will rank equally with all of our direct, other senior and unsubordinated debt. The Subordinated Debt Securities will be our unsecured obligations and will
rank junior in right of payment to our Senior Indebtedness, as described under the heading &#147;Additional Terms of Subordinated Debt Securities&#151;Subordination.&#148; </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Because we are a holding company that conducts all of our operations through our subsidiaries, our ability to meet our obligations under the Debt
Securities depends on the earnings and cash flows of those subsidiaries and the ability of those subsidiaries to pay dividends or to advance or repay funds to us. The debt securities are not guaranteed by our subsidiaries and, therefore, holders of
Debt Securities will generally have a junior position to claims of creditors of our subsidiaries, including trade creditors, debtholders, secured creditors, taxing authorities and guarantee holders and any preferred stockholders in our subsidiaries.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Because the Debt Securities will be unsecured, they will effectively be subordinated to our secured debt to the extent of the value of the
assets securing such debt. In the event of a bankruptcy or similar proceeding involving us, our assets which serve as collateral will be available to satisfy the obligations under any secured debt before any payments are made on the Debt Securities.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Neither of the Indentures limits the amount of Debt Securities that we may issue under it or protects the holders of Debt Securities if we
engage in a highly leveraged transaction. We may issue Debt Securities from time to time under the Indentures in one or more series by entering into supplemental indentures or by our Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee authorizing the
issuance. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Debt Securities may be issued as original issue discount securities, as defined in the Indentures, to be sold at a substantial
discount below their principal amount. Original issue discount securities may include &#147;zero coupon&#148; securities that do not pay any cash interest for the entire term of the securities. In the event of an acceleration of the maturity of any
original issue discount security, the amount payable to the holder thereof upon an acceleration will be determined in the manner described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Conditions pursuant to which payment of the principal of the Debt
Securities may be accelerated will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Material federal income tax and other considerations applicable to original issue discount securities will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Under the Indentures, the terms of Debt Securities of any series may differ and we, without the consent of the holders of the Debt
Securities of any series, may reopen a previous series of Debt Securities and issue additional Debt Securities of that series or establish additional terms of that series, unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase the number of preferred shares or common shares, as the case may be, at the exercise price and in the manner specified in the prospectus supplement or other offering materials relating to those
warrants. Warrants will be issued under one or more warrant agreements to be entered into between us and a bank or trust company, as warrant agent. The warrant agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the warrants and will not assume
any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders or beneficial owners of warrants. We will file the warrant agreement, and any unit agreement, with the SEC in connection with any offering of warrants. </FONT></P> <P
