TYSON FOODS INC will replace CEO Donnie King with board member Jeff Schomburger in October, triggered by a leadership shuffle that sent shares down 6%. The transition follows a turnaround in the chicken segment that offset losses in a beef business pressured by 75-year low cattle inventories. Investors now face uncertainty as the executive who stabilized margins departs during a period of federal price-collusion scrutiny.
