| 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. “Another memory I had of the exchange building was in the main lobby; it was quite large and had a very high ceiling. On the west wall was a chalkboard, and they kept it updated with the current prices of livestock, at the different major exchanges across the country; Chicago, Omaha, Denver and you could see what the prices were that day at those other exchanges around the country. A lot of old timers would come in, they had some heavy oak chairs up against the wall and I remember very clearly, they would sit in those chairs and smoke cigars and visit for hours on end. The aroma in the room and the sounds, they would pipe in the sound of the auction so you could actually hear that over the speaker system while you were in that lobby and it would echo, and it’s a memory that’s burned into my mind very deeply. There were also some brass spittoons in the corners, I didn’t ever see anyone use them. I’m sure they’d been there for a long time.” |
