    NB to buy back the JBS feedlot

    An interesting news story on my inbox tonight...
    NBI is buying back the Brooks feedlot for an apparent $50 million.

    Yep, saw that too. Wonder what the racket is this time? Sold the plant and the feedlot for $100 million and now buy the feedlot back for $50 million. Doesn't make sense.

      One minute NB is flatter than piss on a plate then they're buying back. WTF? The official story JBS needs to raise money to pay fines for bribery. Unofficially it's anyone's guess.

          I was surprised that NB bought, but more so because the feeding industry is not high profit (although they are in a good run right now). I think there have been lots over the last 3 years that could have been bought for much less cost per head. As well, with cattle supplies approaching lows in Canada I can't see how they won't have to actually bid for the cattle to fill the lot, especially since they have a lot less market ownership than in the past. It will be interesting times. I do think that if we had lost that capacity it would not have been a good thing.

            Is it a case of JBS sub contracting their captive supply arrangement because they desperately need to raise some cash to pay their fines? I still wonder in NB ever paid for the plant/feedlot in the first place? If I remember right it was a $100 million deal when NB bought from Lakeside but they only had to put down $50 million ish with the rest to be paid at some future date. Then JBS bought it from NB for $100 million. Now NB are buying the feedlot back for $50 million. Would take a bit of forensic accounting to figure out what has really gone on in these deals.
