Sales Segments

Since the Acquisition of WLR Foods on January 27, 2001, we operate in two reportable business segments as (1) a producer of chicken and other products and (2) a producer of turkey products.

Our chicken and other products segment includes sales of chicken and sales of other products we produce and purchase for resale in the United States and Mexico. Our chicken and other products segment conducts separate operations in the United States and Mexico and is reported as two separate geographical areas. Our turkey segment includes sales of turkey products produced in our turkey operation recently acquired from WLR Foods, whose operations are exclusively in the United States.
Inter-area sales and inter-segment sales, which are not material, are accounted for at prices comparable to normal trade customer sales. Fixed assets by segment and geographic area are those assets which are used in our operations in each segment or area. Corporate assets are included with chicken and other products. You should read this financial data in conjunction with the appropriate period financial statements and the related notes and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition" included in our SEC filings.
