One of largest NW cattle ranches sued in Franklin Co. for bilking $225M from Tyson

[TexasTowelie]

Pasco, WA -- Easterday Ranches is accused of bilking Tyson Foods out of more than $225 million by charging for 200,000 cattle that never existed.

A lawsuit filed in Franklin County this week by Tyson Foods claims the money was used “to offset over $200 million in losses (company president Cody Easterday) incurred in the commodities trading markets.”

Now South Dakota-based Tyson is looking for the money back, along with 54,000 head of cattle on an Easterday feedlot north of Pasco.

Cody Easterday was not available Thursday for an interview about the accusations, and other members of the family declined to comment to the Tri-City Herald on the lawsuit.

I was perplexed as how Gale Easterday could cause a wrong wreck, which took his life, on a highway he has driven thousands of times.
