PART II
Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Set forth below is a line graph comparing the cumulative stockholder return on the Company’s common stock with the cumulative total return of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index and an industry peer group identified by the Company (the “Peer Group Index”). The Peer Group Index consists of Bob Evans Farms, Inc.; Cagle’s, Inc.; Hormel Foods Corporation; Pilgrims Pride Corporation; Sanderson Farms Inc.; Seaboard Corp.; Tyson Foods, Inc.; and United Heritage Corporation. The Peer Group Index return consists of the weighted returns of each component issuer according to such issuer’s respective stock market capitalization at the beginning of each period for which a return is indicated. The performance shown is not necessarily an indicator of future price performance.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Company’s previous filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that might incorporate future filings, including this Annual Report on Form 10-K, in whole or in part, the Stock Performance Graph shall not be incorporated by reference into any such filings.
