| Description |
The following includes the transcript and video clips from an oral history interview with Kurt Anderson. |
| Biographical/Historical Note |
The Ogden Union Stockyard was a key fixture in the largest livestock market west of Denver during its heyday from 1916 to 1971. The activities at the yard brought Ogden national attention as a livestock center. The rise of the livestock shows, auctions, etc. at the site spurred the local and regional livestock industry, thereby physically shaping the development of the agricultural landscape both near and far. This collection documents the history through photographs, newspaper articles, and oral histories. |

| Description |
The following is a video clip from an oral history interview with Kurt Anderson. “My father purchased 20 acres of land and started a feedlot. Initially, he would raise any kind of livestock, but he realized early on that hogs were the most productive and financially viable because they put on more weight per pound and they’re ready for market faster than almost any other animal.” |
