Reminds me of years ago when Gainers Meats employees went on strike. Ol’ Peter Puck shut the plant down and told them to go to hell. Same as excel meats in Moose Jaw. Workers were striking, plant needed a bunch of upgrades etc. Nilssons mothballed it rather than put up with the bs.

They set the entire ranching industry back and consolidated it which in the long run will reduce young producers the ability to enter...

True enough. Used to rail fat cows there. Did good going through there and quit doing it after they shuttered as Alberta plants were more hassle to deal with.
