沃斯堡畜牧场

- A colorful illustration on a building in the Stockyards District of Fort Worth, Texas. The neighborhood celebrates a former livestock market that operated under various owners from 1866. Fort Worth Union Stockyards opened for business on January 19, 1890, covering 206 acres. By 1886 four stockyards had been built near the railroads. Boston capitalist Greenleif W. Simpson, with a half dozen Boston and Chicago associates, incorporated the Fort Worth Stock Yards Company on March 23, 1893, and purchased the Union Stock Yards and the Fort Worth Packing Company. The stockyards was an organized place where cattle, sheep, and hogs could be bought, sold and slaughtered. Fort Worth remained an important part of the cattle industry until the 1950s. Business suffered due to livestock auctions held closer to the where the livestock were originally raised.
Today the Stockyards consist of mainly entertainment and shopping venues that capitalize on the \"Cowtown\" image of Fort Worth. They are the last standing stockyards in the United States. Some volunteers still run the cattle drives through the stockyards -- in fact parading them briefly at a walk before tourists lining Exchange Street.
