According to the terms of the agreement JBS’ subsidiary Food Canada Inc. signed, MCF will continue to supply cattle to JBS Canada’s unit in Brooks, the filing said. On June 20, after its controlling shareholder paid a record fine for involvement in corruption, JBS announced the intention to sell $1.8 billion in assets, including its U.S. cattle feeding operation.
