Case update
Morgrove Holsteins: quota and cattle, sold as the claims require
BDO's first report counts about 251 cattle and 91.82 kg/day of milk quota at the Brantford dairy, and a bank debt of $1,152,866. On August 14 the court approved selling 40 to 60 kg/day on the Dairy Farmers of Ontario exchange, and cattle with it, and a claims process with an October 13 bar date.
Filing brief
Morgrove Holsteins: a company that could not appear at its own receivership
Two brothers each own half of a cattle farm outside Brantford and each guaranteed its $1.5 million of bank debt. One negotiated a refinancing with another bank. The other refused to sign, not wanting to increase his exposure to a failing business. The motion to compel him was abandoned the day before the hearing, and nobody appeared for the company at all.
