I was unaware that they had gone into bancruptcy. Since our family got out of the cattle business I have not kept up with much in the industry. I spent some time out there with Dr. Hesby.

The 40-employee company was the subject of a U.S. Department of Agriculture investigation in 2008 after one of its cows was confirmed to be infected with malignant catarrhal fever, a contagious disease that is fatal for cattle.
The cow was infected by a wildebeest from an exotic herd on the ranch, USDA officials said at the time. The company had to halt two cattle sales and eventually was forced to sell its entire registered herd of 3,000 cows.
