  1. Chapter SixOn the Range By Gabbie Kemp

  2. Basic Summary • In beginning of Chapter 6, Schlosser meets with Hank, a Colorado rancher. Hank gives Schlosser a tour of his ranch, with the purpose of showing him the difference between what he does and “raping the land.” Hank takes many precautions in raising cattle, so that the land remains lush and fertile. In contrast, the mass development of Colorado Springs wreaks havoc on the landscape.

  3. Summary Contd. (A New Trust) • In this section, Schlosser recounts a brief history of the early 20th century efforts to break up the Beef Trust, in which five meatpacking companies had a monopoly on the meatpacking industry. • While this trust was effectively busted, allowing ranchers to sell their cattle at competitive prices for a few decades, the Reagan administration allowed the top four meatpacking companies to dominate again.
