The workers tried to unionize that plant; it was a long hard struggle. The union lost and that plant went out of business several years later.
They used to slaughter the cattle in KC. Now they kill them closer to the ranches.
There really aren't very many feedlots in easter Kansas but you are right. They ship them west to kill them and back east to process. A ridiculous waste of resources.
