                    INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT

Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

        On June 10, 1999, Broughton Foods Company ("Broughton"), an Ohio
corporation, announced that at a special shareholders meeting held June 10,
1999, its shareholders voted to approve and adopt the Agreement and Plan of
Merger dated as of September 10, 1998, among Suiza Foods Corporation, Broughton
and a wholly owned subsidiary of Suiza, as amended by Amendment No. 2 to
Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April 28, 1999 (the "Amended Merger
Agreement"). With approximately 79% of all outstanding Broughton shares voting,
the merger was approved by over 99% of those shares voting.

        The Amended Merger Agreement provides that Broughton will be merged
with the Suiza subsidiary in exchange for receipt of $16.50 cash per Broughton
share to Broughton shareholders, other than 5 Broughton directors and certain
of their related interests who are parties to a separate Stock Purchase
Agreement with Suiza.

        The related Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of January 18, 1999
between Suiza, Broughton and 5 Broughton directors and certain of their related
interests, amended as of April 28, 1999, provides that the price at which these
shareholders will sell 2,000,000 shares to Suiza at completion of the merger is
$11.25 per share, plus the contingent right to receive $1.25 per share if
certain conditions are satisfied.

undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
