Great West Beef and Bison ceases operations

The Board Directors of the Great West Beef and Bison have decided the timing is not right to pursue their livestock processing plans in the Southwest.
Last Friday the doors to the Great West Beef and Bison office in Swift Current closed and the project was put in mothballs for a potential future attempt.

 Well congrats on a successful event!!! Great job everyone, I think we nailed it.  The feedback has been wonderful with calls coming in asking for information and interestingly most are parents wanting to fly their kids home for Christmas.  Anyway,  now that we have the momentum in our favor we really need to start discussions on how to promote this service to the region.  In addition, I spoke with Swanberg and they are having discussions about adding another day to the schedule in order to provide a more favorable flight plan.  Nothing has been confirmed only in discussion but the new schedule would be Mon, Tues, Thursday, Friday.
