Agriculture Giants your username December 30, 2020 Plaintiffs in a consolidated cattle antitrust lawsuit filed their third amended complaint on Monday in the District of Minnesota. The 226-page redacted complaint argued that the defendants “conspired to depress fed cattle prices” causing a price collapse in 2015 and are continuing to suppress the price for beef. The defendants include Tyson Foods, JBS, Cargill, National Beef Packing Company, Swift Beef Company, and Marfrig Global Foods. The court dismissed the lawsuit on September 29, agreeing with the defendants that the plaintiffs had not given sufficient detail regarding the direct evidence and had not sufficiently supported their claims that the defendants participated in a price-fixing conspiracy.
