What makes our work so rewarding is knowing that every cut we produce has a direct impact on the meals chefs create – and the experiences guests remember. We’re not just supplying ingredients - we’re contributing to the story each operator tells on the plate, and that’s a responsibility we take personally."

A Proud Heritage of Excellence
Explore our history of delivering exceptional meats and service,
from our beginings in 1893 to today's coast-to-coast capabilities.
Stock Yards® was founded by the Pollack family, in the original “stockyards” of Chicago.
Our facility quickly built a name for itself by doing what Texans do best: going big—on precision, consistency, and bold, cut‑above flavor. Now part of the Stock Yards Collective, bringing local know‑how to the national stage.
We rebranded as Stock Yards® Collective as part of our commitment to meet the evolving needs of our customers.
