                                   PART I

                         Item 1:  General Business

Cagle's, Inc. (the "Company"), which began business in 1945 and was first
incorporated in Georgia in 1953, and its wholly owned subsidiary (Cagle's
Farms, Inc., formerly Strain Poultry Farms, Inc.) produce, market, and
distribute a variety of fresh and frozen poultry products.  The vertically
integrated operations of the Company consist of breeding, hatching, and
growing of chickens; feed milling; processing; further processing; and
marketing.  The Company's products are sold to national and regional
independent and chain supermarkets, food distributors, food processing
companies, national fast-food chains, and institutional users, such as
restaurants, schools, and distributors, by the Company's sales staff located
in Atlanta, Georgia, and through brokers selected by the Company.

                       Narrative Description of Business

Food Processing

All of the Company's business activities are conducted on a vertically
integrated basis within one industry segment, poultry products.  The Company's
various poultry products are closely related, have similar purposes and uses,
and, except for product sold under cost-plus arrangements, are similar in terms
of profitability and types and degrees of risks.  In addition, the production
processes are similar to the extent that (a) production facilities are shared
or are interchangeable and (b) the same types of raw materials, labor, and
capital are used.  Markets and marketing methods are comparable for all
products (except cost-plus products) to the extent that they are generally sold
to the same types of customers by a common sales force and are sensitive to
changes in economic conditions to the same degree.

The Company currently processes approximately 2,800,000 birds per week in its
three processing plants, including two plants which operate with two full
shifts and one plant operating one shift.  Of the Company's total production,
approximately 1,015,000 head per week are deboned.

The complete cycle for growing broilers begins with the placement on a farm of
a day-old breeder chick.  This bird is reared for 25 weeks, at which time it
begins to produce hatching eggs.  The breeder produces eggs for approximately
40 weeks.  These eggs are set in one of the Company's two hatcheries, and in
three weeks, a baby chick is hatched.

</page>
<page>

The day-old broiler chick is placed on a farm where it will grow for six to
eight weeks depending upon the size of bird desired, at which time it is
transported to the processing plant for slaughter.  A significant investment
in field inventories is required to support the Company's operating cycle.

All feed for all flocks is produced in feed mills owned by the Company.

The Company's goal is to add value to all of its birds. This value-added
Product can take the form of deboned breast and thigh meat, cut-up marinated
raw breaded chicken (including barbecue), fast-food cuts, IQF (individually
quick frozen) products, and mechanically deboned chicken meat.

Raw Materials

The primary raw materials used by the Company are corn, soybean meal, and other
ingredients; packaging materials; cryogenic materials; and breeder chicks.  The
Company believes that sources of supply for these materials are adequate and
does not expect significant difficulty in acquiring required supplies.  The
major source of supply is the midwestern grain belt of the United States,
although local supplies are utilized when available.  Prices for the feed
ingredients are sensitive to supply fluctuations worldwide, and weather
conditions, especially drought, can cause significant price volatility.  Since
feed is the most significant factor in the cost of producing a broiler chicken,
those fluctuations can have significant effects on margins.  The Company also
purchases product outside for further processing requirements.

Research and Development

The Company has made no material expenditures for research and development
during the last three years.

Employees and Labor Relations

The Company employs approximately 3,300 persons of whom approximately 20% are
covered by collective bargaining agreements which expire at various dates over
the next three years.  The Company believes its relationship with the
bargaining groups and other employees is good.

Seasonal Variations in Business

The seasonal demand for the Company's products is highest during the late
spring and summer months and is normally lowest during the winter months.

Major Customers

Sales to the Company's largest customers represent 16.5%, 16.9%, and 18.7%
of net sales during fiscal 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively.

Backlog

The Company had no material backlog of orders existing as of March 29, 2003.

</page>
<page>

Competition

The Company is a leading regional integrated poultry processor, ranking
ninth nationally in pounds produced.  The Company's products compete in the
marketplace with comparable products of approximately ten national and regional
producers in the areas of quality, service, and price.  The Company believes
its flexibility and accessibility are positive factors enhancing the Company's
competitive position.

Regulation

The Company's facilities and operations are subject to regulation by various
federal and state agencies, including, but not limited to, the Federal Food
and Drug Administration ("FDA"), the United States Department of Agriculture
("USDA"), the Environmental Protection Agency, the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration, and the corresponding state agencies.  The Company's
processing plants are subject to continuous on-site inspection by the USDA,
and the FDA inspects the production of the Company's feed mill.
Management believes that the Company is in substantial compliance with
applicable laws and regulations relating to the operation of its facilities.

                           Item 2:  Properties

Production and Facilities

Breeding and Hatching

The Company supplies its broiler chicks by producing all of its own hatching
eggs from breeder flocks owned by the Company.  These breeder flocks are
maintained on 56 contract grower farms.  In addition, the replacement breeder
pullets are maintained on 21 contract grower farms where the breeders are
reared from one day old to approximately 18 weeks old and then moved to the
breeder farm where they begin to produce eggs at about 25 weeks of age.
These farms are located in north Georgia and Tennessee.

The Company owns two hatcheries located in Dalton, Georgia, and Forsyth,
Georgia, at which eggs are incubated and hatched.  This is a continuous
process and requires 21 days to complete.  After the chicks are removed
from the incubator, they are separated by sex, vaccinated against disease,
and moved by a special-purpose vehicle, Chick Bus, to the Company's grow-out
farms.  The two hatcheries have an aggregate capacity of 3,000,000 chicks per
week.  Both of the hatcheries are company-owned.

Grow-Out

The Company places its broiler chicks on approximately 294 contract grower
farms.

The independent contract growers provide the housing, equipment, utilities,
and labor to grow the baby chicks to market age, which varies from six to
eight weeks, depending on the market for which they are intended.  The Company
supplies the baby chicks, the feed, and all veterinary and technical services.
Title to the birds remains with the Company at all times.  The contract
growers are paid on live weight and are guaranteed a minimum rate with
various incentives based upon a grower's performance as compared to other
growers whose birds are marketed during the same week.  These contract
farms are located in Georgia and Alabama.

</page>
<page>

Feed Mills

The Company owns three feed mills. The feed mill in Forsyth, Georgia, has the
capacity to produce approximately 9,000 tons per week.  A new feed mill in
Rockmart, Georgia has production capacity of over 12,000 tons per week which
can be increased to 20,000 tons per week by adding additional equipment.  A
mill in Dalton, Georgia is currently idle.

Processing

As the broilers reach the desired processing weight, they are removed from the
houses and transported by company trucks to a processing plant.

The processing plants are located in Pine Mountain, Georgia; Perry, Georgia;
and Collinsville, Alabama.  The Collinsville plant can process up to 12,600
birds per hour.  The Pine Mountain plant has the capacity to process 10,800
birds per hour.  The Perry plant has the capacity to process 15,625 per hour.
Perry and Collinsville operate two full shifts plus a sanitation shift. Pine
Mountain Valley is one shift as of April 25, 2003.

Further Processing and Deboning

The Company has a stated goal of marketing the majority of its product as
value-added product.  This is accomplished by cutting the product into parts
or fast-food cuts, deboning, marinating and breading, and converting into
other convenience-type products.

Currently, further processing and deboning are conducted at the Collinsville,
Alabama, plant (cutting, marinating, and breading) and the Pine Mountain and
plant (deboning) and the Perry, Ga. plant, (deboning, IQF and marinating and
breading).

Freezer Storage

The Company's facilities located in Atlanta, Georgia; Collinsville, Alabama;
Pine Mountain, Georgia; and Perry, Georgia, have freezer storage facilities
with aggregate capacity of approximately 25,800,000 pounds of frozen product.
The Company utilizes outside storage services as needed to supplement its own
freezer capacity.

Local Distribution

As an extension of the company sales division, local distribution is operated
from separate refrigerated warehouse facilities in Atlanta, Georgia,
Collinsville, Alabama, and Mobile, Alabama and are designed to provide
storage and delivery service for those customers.

Significant Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

In November 1997, a Joint Venture poultry company was formed in Kentucky and
the company became a minority member.  On April 30, 2002 the Company sold its
interest in a joint venture in Camilla, Georgia and its interest in a grower
financing credit company for $50,000,000.00, and in December, 2002 sold its
interest in a rendering company.

Executive Offices

The Company's executive offices are located in a renovated two-story
(22,000-square-foot) building at 2000 Hills Avenue, NW, Atlanta, Georgia.
The building is owned by the Company.

All of the properties described above are in good condition and are adequate
for their stated uses.

                        Item 3:  Legal Proceedings

Suit was filed against Cagle's Farms, Inc. on December 18, 1998 in U.S.
District Court for the Northern District of Georgia by terminated contract
broiler growers.  Cagle's, Inc. was subsequently added as a party.  These
former growers sought unspecified damages and alleged, among other things,
that their birds were misweighed on numerous occasions and that they were
terminated as growers because of their involvement in a poultry grower's
association.  Cagle's, Inc. and Cagle's Farms, Inc. denied all allegations.
During the fiscal year the case settled and, subsequent to the end of the
fiscal year, the case was dismissed with prejudice.

In addition to the above mentioned case, a suit was brought against Cagle's,
Inc., Cagle's Farms, Inc., Cagle Foods JV, LLC and Cagle Keystone Foods JV,
LLC on May 12, 1999 in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of
Georgia by three contract broiler growers.  This suit alleged certain
discrepancies in weighing live poultry and sought unspecified damages.  The
Company and other defendants denied all allegations.  This suit sought class
action status, which was denied by the Court.  Subsequently, on July 2, 2001,
a number of individual contract growers filed suit against Cagle's, Inc. and
Cagle's Farms, Inc. in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of
Georgia, also alleging certain discrepancies in weighing and seeking
unspecified damages.  Cagle's, Inc. and Cagle's Farms, Inc. denied all
allegations.  During the fiscal year, both cases settled and,
subsequent to the end of the fiscal year, both of these cases were
dismissed with prejudice.

Also, suit was filed on May 19, 1999 against Cagle's, Inc., Cagle's Farms,
Inc., Cagle Foods JV, LLC, Cagle Foods Credit LLC and Cagle's Keystone Foods,
LLC in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia.  This suit
was brought by contract growers seeking unspecified damages and alleging the
defendants misrepresented certain facts regarding profitability and cash flow
as an inducement to their becoming contract producers.  The Company and other
defendants deny all allegations.  Subsequent to the end of the fiscal year,
the Court entered Summary Judgment in favor of all defendants.  The Plaintiffs
are appealing this ruling.  Cagle's, Inc. and Cagle's Farms, Inc. are
vigorously defending the appeal, and if the summary judgment ruling is
overturned, the Company will vigorously defend against these actions and
expects to be vindicated.

Two additional suits were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle
district of Georgia on June 15, 2001 and June 22, 2001 against Cagle's, Inc.,
Cagle's Farms, Inc., Cagle Foods JV LLC d/b/a Cagle-Keystone Foods.  These
two suits were brought by different contract growers seeking unspecified
damages and alleging the defendants misrepresented certain facts regarding
profitability and cash flow as an inducement to their becoming contract
producers.  The Company and other defendants deny all allegations and are
vigorously defending against these actions and expect to be vindicated.

Other than those actions listed above, the Company is routinely involved in
various lawsuits and legal matters on an ongoing basis as a result of day to
day operations; however, the Company does not believe that the ultimate
resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the
Company or its business.

No matters were submitted to security holders for a vote during the fourth
