Tyson Fresh Meats has filed a lawsuit against a Washington state cattle feeder to recover losses from alleged false cattle sales and feed costs.
Tyson is suing Easterday Ranches claiming losses of more than $225 million. An internal audit late last year discovered one of their cattle suppliers misrepresented the number of cattle purchased on behalf of the company. In the court filings, Tyson alleges that the cattle feeder has falsified records and submitted fictitious invoices for feed and cattle that were never purchased, beginning in 2016.
