Possible Buyer Emerges For Eugene Meatpacking Company That Closed In March

SALEM, Ore. — An Oregon beef packing company that shut down earlier this year has attracted a potential buyer to purchase its facilities and equipment "as a package."

The court-appointed receiver who took over the company's finances, Richard Hooper of Pivotal Solutions, has since met with four interested parties who toured the slaughterhouse and processing plant.
