How to find or choose stock yards
Stock yards are places where livestock such as cattle, sheep, swine, poultry, or horses are kept before being slaughtered, marketed or shipped. Also called slaughterhouses, stock yards may provide slaughter, packing, shipping, exchange, and distribution. A stock yard, which resembles a factory, produces food such as chicken, beef, pork, ham, steak, ground duck, and meat. Animals are kept in an enclosure, pen or shed before being slaughtered for meat for shipping all across the country or world. Some stockyards specialize in one type of meat, such as cattle, while others may specialize in a few types such as poultry, sheep or swine. Stockyards are manufacturers of agricultural meat and chicken, and the food products are cleaned, packaged, and shipped wherever the market is, whether locally or internationally. The products, such as steak and veal, are hand or machine trimmed to ensure the best cuts. The products are then shipped to restaurants and grocery stores for purchase by the public. Meat, chicken, ham, pork and other livestock goods must adhere to certain federal guidelines, so be sure to check all the labels before purchasing. You can find stockyards by looking in your local phone book or by searching online directory listings. Go online to do your research about stock yards and what they involve. You can purchase directly from many stock yard websites, get market prices, browse company histories, view photos, read reviews, and get listings of stockyards near you. Whether your business requires poultry, cattle, sheep, swine, or duck, stock yards can help. Arrange a factory tour to check out the manufacturing process.

At stock yards, livestock may be kept in confinement in vary small areas such as cages or pens, as with poultry, rabbits or veal cattle, in sheds or barns, or in fenced pastures. Barbed wire was developed in the 1870s, followed in the 20th century by electric fencing technology, which has allowed fencing pastures to be much more feasible and pasture management to be simplified. Livestock may be branded, marked or tagged to denote ownership for inventory, breeding, health management, product identification and tracing. Stock yards are highly regulated due to the quantity of waste involved, fly and odor issues, potential for groundwater contamination, and animal welfare concerns.
