[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1760694, member: 498"] Know of two outfits which are vertical integrated to a degree. One owns 5 or 6 feedlots here in the PNW. They also own a kill plant. Several years back they bought a big ranch. Of course it takes a whole lot more cattle to fill their 100,000+ capacity in the feedlots than that one ranch can produce. They are very involved in exporting beef. A truck drive told me that they kill nothing but Wagyu one day of the week. I also know of them buying a lot of Wagyu bulls from a breeder. My guess is they supplied bulls to ranchers to raise calves for them. The other doesn't own a kill plant but they have a big feedlot next door to a kill plant. That feedlot and the plant were built by the same outfit 50+ years ago. They since were sold separately and I am sure they have both been up graded. The present feedlot owner also owns several real big ranches and other feedlots. They are huge in potato processing and got into the feedlot business as a way to utilize the waste from their processing plants. They also have some livestock supply retail stores. They might be what you would call diversified. [/QUOTE]
