Arbogast & Bastian filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on May 11, 1984, citing cash flow issues brought about by " two years of turbulent market conditions in the pork industry ," a labor dispute with the Teamsters labor union and the recent shutdown of A & B's slaughtering operations.

The bankruptcy was immediately triggered because one of the company's customers had issued a stop-payment on $ 800, 000 worth of checks paid to Arbogast & Bastian.

The firm's financial woes were further complicated by four large meat packing companies-Pork Cutters, Inc., Rotches Pork Packers, Inc., Otto Doerrer and Son, Inc. and Crissman, Inc .-who collectively failed to pay for nearly $ 5 million worth of pork carcasses and meat products purchased from Arbogast & Bastian in 1983 and 1984, according to charges made by the United States Department of Agriculture.
