Texas cattle sales and investment-contract company subject to SEC and CFTC actions.

Agridime was a Texas-based cattle business. It faced SEC and CFTC civil actions over cattle investment contracts and a final SEC civil judgment in 2025. Former executives Joshua and Jason Link were convicted in a separate criminal case in 2026; those personal convictions must not be attributed to the company.
