National Beef Loses Walmart Contract

MOULTRIE — Despite the loss of business with the nation’s largest retailer, National Beef Packing Co. expects no disruptions at its Moultrie meat processing facility, officials said Friday.

The company had anticipated a change in its relationship with Walmart, for which at one time National Beef produced case-ready beef, hamburger and pork. It had made contingency plans, said Darrell Moore, president of the Moultrie-Colquitt County Development Authority.

Moore said he had talked with a former plant official but had not discussed the issue directly with the company.
