Inventories INVENTORIES
Processed products, livestock and supplies and other are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost includes purchased raw materials, live purchase costs, livestock growout costs (primarily feed, livestock grower pay and catch and haul costs), labor and manufacturing and production overhead, which are related to the purchase and production of inventories. At June 27, 2026, the cost of inventories was determined by either the first-in, first-out method or the weighted-average method, which is consistent with the methods used at September 27, 2025. Inventories are presented net of lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments of $190 million and $138 million as of June 27, 2026 and September 27, 2025, respectively.
