Description The following includes the transcript and a video clip from an oral history interview with Ralph Keoppel.
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 Ralph Keoppel. "We lived about three blocks from the stockyards, and being a curious kid, I walked down there and it was fascinating to me to see how it worked; to see how the farmers and ranchers brought the cattle in. How they unloaded and separated them and kept them so that each farmer knew his cattle. And also how they put them in the pens so they would keep them separate from one family to another. And then they would start the auction and they'd bring the cattle in, out of each pen, and auction them off. And then they'd go out and they'd bring in more."
