Flyingwedge, THANK YOU FOR THOSE AWESOME PICTURES of the L.A. Stockyards! I had no idea they even exited here in L.A. I am learning SO MUCH from you guys on this site.
BTW, I am still learning new tricks here so I shortened the reply with quote by deleting most of your pictures and just kept the one of the plaque so you know which set I am referring to.
It was a "real treat" for me as a kid living near Topeka, KS to go and visit the Kansas City Stockyards when we delivered our few cattle, sheep, and wool. But it is an experience I still remember well
