A.A. Poultry Farms, Inc. v. Rose Acre Farms, Inc.

Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit (1989) | 881 F.2d 1396; 1989 U.S. App. LEXIS 11799; 1989 WL 88532

4 min read

TL;DR: Egg producer Rose Acre, accused by competitors of predatory pricing and illegal price discrimination through "specials," prevailed because plaintiffs failed to show Rose Acre could recoup losses or prove actual price discrimination under antitrust laws.

Legal Significance: Establishes that for predatory pricing under Sherman Act §2, likelihood of recoupment is paramount, and subjective intent is irrelevant. Clarifies proof requirements for Robinson-Patman Act primary-line discrimination.
