Mendocino County livestock industry has unique challenges.  Currently all the animals need to be transported several hours to be processed.  The EDFC Meat Industry Study Group has determined that the current system is not sustainable.  We are proposing a facility that will treat the animals humanely, treat the employees with respect and good working conditions and be kind to the environment.  That is placing Mendocino County values on this industry.
