October and it would be necessary
to obtain a replacement bond in
order to legally remain in
business.
B.H. (Bill) Jones, head of
USDA’s Packers and Stockyards
Administration, said the firm has
continued to purchase livestock for
slaughter without filing a new
bond, despite the official warning.

to pay a civil penalty.
