          How have feedlot operator and meatpacker consolidation affected the farm?

          Consolidation in feedlot and meatpacking industries often means fewer buyers for animals, with only two or three bidders at many animal auctions. The top five companies in beef packing, pork packing, and chicken processing dominate US meat production.
