“We’ve submitted a letter of intent to purchase the plant and are in the process of due diligence and evaluation,” according to R. David Mitchell, CEO of LeForce Signature Beef in Oklahoma City, Okla. “We are very interested in the plant and are spending a lot of time and money on this negotiation.”
LeForce consists of a management team that is trying to execute a business plan for a vertically integrated beef processor. British breeds of cattle are to be managed on company-owned and operated feed lots, then processed in a state-of-the-art facility and brought to market in a controlled supply chain.
