Valley Oaks Steak ceases operations, effective immediately
Valley Oaks became a target for individuals and organizations opposed to animal agriculture operations.
Valley Oaks Steak Co., Johnson County, Mo., ceased operations, effective immediately.
“When we started Valley Oaks, we designed a local state-of-the-art facility, different from the large-scale industrial agriculture operations that harvest beef for U.S. and export markets. We planned on being a hoof-to-table local supplier of premium beef, utilizing local businesses and farmers, promoting the sustainable production of beef and reducing the carbon footprint involved in long supply chains. We created Valley Oaks using modern agricultural techniques, which eliminated environmental issues prevalent with other large beef operations,” according to the company’s Facebook page.
