JBS, the Brazilian-owned global meat giant, will close two US plants in Pennsylvania and Tennessee as a cattle shortage squeezes American beef margins.

The company plans to lay off at least 2,000 workers as it shutters a Pennsylvania beef processing facility and makes changes at majority-owned Pilgrim’s Pride.
