Six governors from cattle states have written a letter to the United States Department of Justice, asking them to continue their investigation into anti-competitive practices in the meatpacking industry.
The DOJ had originally sent investigative demands to the nation’s four largest meatpackers in May 2020.
“Perhaps no person embodies the independent and untamable spirit of the United States better than the cattle producer,” wrote the governors. “But this way of life is under threat. Decades of consolidation in meatpacking has significantly limited the options that producers have to market their cattle and has created a situation where one segment of the beef industry has near total control over the entire market.”
