PIERRE, S.D. AP – Cattle rancher and auctioneer Herman Schumacher was surprised to find a sign posted on the door of his Herreid home saying he owes nearly $16,000 in legal fees to Tyson Fresh Foods.
The writ of execution from a federal judge was put on his door on June 11 because he owes legal expenses after losing a lawsuit he and two other cattlemen filed against Tyson and some other meatpackers that alleged the meatpackers violated federal law by intentionally manipulated or controlled prices.
