Preliminary Statement
This statement on Schedule 13D is filed on behalf of the Reporting Person,
who was qualified as the executrix of the estate (the "Estate") of her husband,
Dewey R. Sanderson, Jr., on December 20, 1999. At that time, she filed a
statement on Schedule 13D, as she may have been deemed to have acquired the
beneficial ownership of 3,268,482 shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per
share, of Sanderson Farms, Inc. (the "Common Stock") that are beneficially owned
by the Estate. The Executrix disclaimed beneficial ownership of these shares
pursuant to Rule 13d-4 under the Exchange Act. On August 16, 2000, the Reporting
Person was replaced as executrix of the Estate by two of her sons, Robert Buck
Sanderson and Hugh V. Sanderson, who were qualified as co-executors of the
Estate. On August 18, 2000, Mrs. Sanderson disclaimed and renounced any and all
interest in the Common Stock of the Estate bequeathed to her or to which she may
otherwise be entitled under the Mississippi laws of descent and distribution.
This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D is filed on behalf of the Reporting Person
to report that she has ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the
Common Stock of Sanderson Farms, Inc.

3,268,482 shares of Common Stock of the Estate bequeathed to her by Dewey R.
Sanderson, Jr. or to which she may be entitled under the Mississippi laws of
descent and distribution, and, on August 16, 2000, she was replaced as executrix
of the Estate.
(d) Not applicable.
