Leucadia National Corp., the investment firm run by Richard Handler, plans to shut a beef-processing facility with 1,300 workers, citing poor performance.

The closure in Brawley, California, will result in an impairment of a “substantial portion” of the $93 million in long-lived assets at the plant as of Sept. 30, the company said today in a regulatory filing.
