Livestock Delaer

Consents To Order

A Winchester, livestock dealer, Brown Lovett, has con sented to a U. S. Department of! Agriculture order to comply with the bonding provisions of the Packers and Stockyards Act, the U. S. Department of Agriculture has announced. USDA Judicial Officer Thomas J. Flavin, in a cease and desist order issued March 17, directed Lovett to stop ope j rating under the P & S Act i without maintaining required surety bond coverage. USDA said Lovett recently obtained the required bond and is now operating in compliance with this provision of the P & S Act. The order resulted from a complaint issued in December 1966, by the Packers and Stock yards Division of USDA’s Con sumer and Marketing Service.

In answering the complaint, Lovett admitted USDA's jurf diction, neither admitted nor denied the charges, waived a hearing and consented to the issuance of the cease and desist order. P & S Division officials ex-j plained that the order—like a! permanent court injunction—! is designed to insure continued! compliance with the P & S Act. The Packers and Stockyards Act—a federal law which regulates those engaged in interstate livestock and poultry marketing and meatpacking— prohibits unfair, deceptive, discriminatory and monopolistic marketing practices. It requires that all livestock market agencies and deaf ers .who buy, sell or handle livestock in interstate commerce must maintain surety bond coverage relating to their livestock marketing transactions.

Copies of this consent ordej; P & S Docket 3762, may be obtained from the Packers and Stockyards Division, Consum er and Marketing Service, U.S Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. 20250.
