     ConAgra Foods,  Inc.  ("ConAgra  Foods") makes this filing to amend certain
information  previously  reported  by ConAgra  Foods.  This  filing  constitutes
Amendment No. 1 to the  Statement on Schedule 13D of ConAgra  Foods  ("Amendment
No. 1").  ConAgra  Foods amends such prior  Schedule 13D reports with respect to
the Common Stock,  par value $.01 per share (the "Common  Stock"),  of Pilgrim's
Pride Corporation ("Pilgrim's Pride") by adding the following information to the
items indicated:

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

     On December 7, 2004,  ConAgra Foods entered into an underwriting  agreement
(the  "Underwriting  Agreement") with Pilgrim's Pride and the underwriters named
therein,  including Merrill Lynch & Co., Merrill Lynch,  Pierce,  Fenner & Smith
Incorporated,  J.P.  Morgan  Securities  Inc.  and Lehman  Brothers  Inc. as the
representatives of the several underwriters (collectively,  the "Underwriters"),
related to the offering (the "Secondary  Public  Offering") of 10,000,000 shares
of Common Stock by ConAgra  Foods  pursuant to an effective  shelf  registration
statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-117472) previously filed with the Securities
and Exchange  Commission.  The Underwriters have an option to purchase a maximum
of 1,500,000  additional  shares of Common Stock from ConAgra Foods to cover any
over-allotments.

     The  Underwriting  Agreement  provides  for a purchase  price of the Common
Stock  of  $29.50  per  share  and  contains  representations,   warranties  and
indemnities  by  Pilgrim's  Pride  and  ConAgra  Foods,   and  other  provisions
customarily  included in underwriting  agreements  relating to secondary  public
offerings.  A copy of the Underwriting  Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to the
Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 7, 2004 filed by Pilgrim's  Pride with
the Securities and Exchange Commission and is incorporated herein by reference.

     The closing of the Secondary  Public Offering  pursuant to the Underwriting
Agreement  occurred on December 13, 2004.  At the  closing,  ConAgra  Foods sold
10,000,000  shares of Common Stock to the  Underwriters  and received  aggregate
proceeds of $282,462,000.  After giving effect to the sale of 10,000,000  shares
of  Common  Stock,  ConAgra  Foods  owned  15,443,054  shares  of  Common  Stock
representing   approximately   23.2%  of  Pilgrim's  Pride's  total  equity  and
approximately  2.6% of  Pilgrim's  Pride's  total  outstanding  votes  (based on
66,555,773  shares of Common Stock outstanding on December 3, 2004 and, applying
the presumptions described in Article Four of the Pilgrim's Pride Certificate of
Incorporation,  595,348,066  votes  entitled to be cast at the  Pilgrim's  Pride
annual  meeting to be held on January 26, 2005 (the "2005 Annual  Meeting"),  as
provided in the Pilgrim's Pride proxy statement for the 2005 Annual Meeting).

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

                  (a) ConAgra Foods is the beneficial owner of an aggregate of
15,443,054 shares of Common Stock constituting approximately 23.2% of the
outstanding Common Stock (based on 66,555,773 shares of Common Stock outstanding
on December 3, 2004, as provided in the Pilgrim's Pride proxy statement for the
2005 Annual Meeting).

                  (b) The table below summarizes the number of shares of Common
Stock over which ConAgra Foods has sole voting and dispositive power and shared
