The federal case of cattle producers versus the nation's four largest meatpackers will be tried as a class-action suit. U.S. Circuit Court Judge Charles Kornmann of Aberdeen filed the class-action order on Monday. The trial is expected to be in Aberdeen; no date is set. A jury will decide if the packers owe producers money due to incorrect price reports about three year ago.
