feedyard

HAPPY, Texas — Randy Shields looked out at a sea of cattle at the sprawling Wrangler Feedyard — 46,000 animals milling about in the dry Panhandle air as a feed truck swept by on its way to their pens.

Wagner stopped crop farming 10 years ago, and the horses and feedyard are long gone.

In 1993 Gabel opened Magnum Feedyard in Wiggins with a herd of about 4,000.

Jordan Levi, managing partner for Arcadia Asset Management in Oklahoma City, organized the auction with the involvement of Mike Thoren, chief executive officer of JBS Five Rivers, a feedyard owned by meatpacking company JBS SA, Greiman said.

Even worse, the study authors write that the “feedyard pen floor material, which consists primarily of urine and fecal material, becomes dry and brittle, thus becoming source material for fugitive dust.”
