Washington, D.C., Oct. 29, 2026 – On Oct. 6, 2026, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) signed a Consent Decision and Order with ORB CCM Holdings LLC d/b/a Open Range Beef (ORB) of Gordon, Neb., and its owner, Sanin Mirvic (Mirvic), settling an administrative complaint USDA filed on April 14, 2026, for alleged violations of the Packers and Stockyards (P&S) Act.
A USDA investigation revealed that from Nov. 4, 2025, through March 26, 2026, ORB and Mirvic purchased livestock from 11 sellers and failed to pay timely for a total of $3,482,169. Payments were between four and 83 days late.
Under the Consent Decision and Order, ORB and Mirvic were ordered to cease and desist from failing to pay, or pay when due, the full purchase price of livestock, and using trust funds as defined by the P&S Act in any way except for the preservation and administration of the trust. ORB and Mirvic agreed to pay a civil penalty in the amount of $110,635, that is currently owed to two livestock sellers. The civil penalty order will be reducible, dollar for dollar, in the amount any payments are made to the livestock sellers toward the amount owed.
The Secretary of Agriculture has authority to take action against violators, including issuing cease and desist orders, suspending registrations, and imposing other remedies authorized by the P&S Act.
