He said that some cattle were allowed into the factory on Wednesday on welfare grounds, having been waiting to enter the plant for a while.
“We wouldn’t put cattle in a situation that would be a welfare problem,” O’Brien said.
He added that the protesters believed the cattle were from feedlots owned by ABP owner Larry Goodman.
