This is all happening because #Tyson Fresh Meats filed suit against the farm’s sister company, Easterday Ranches, for allegedly inventing 200,000 head of cattle on paper, then billing Tyson for feeding them for years. Easterday Ranches filed for bankruptcy last week.
Easterday Farms is a huge farming operation in the Columbia Basin boasting over 18,000 acres of largely irrigated land and many other assets.
In court documents, the Easterdays are requesting that the court administer the two bankruptcies together.
