Gold Kist's board of directors has recommended that shareholders not tender their shares to rival Pilgrim's Pride, which is offering $20 for each of Gold Kist's 51 million shares outstanding.
Gold Kist's board described the $1.02 billion offer as "inadequate" and "not in the best interests" of shareholders.
