Abstract: Excerpts from the report Introduction: For more than half a century, the terminal market has been one of the most important livestock market outlets in the United States. Although the relative position of terminals as a livestock marketing channel began a long-term decline in the early 1920's, they are still an important and integral part of the livestock marketing system. In 1955, producers in the United States sold more livestock through terminal markets than through any other single market outlet. The objectives of this study were to: (1) Indicate the types of agencies located at terminal markets and the importance of their operations, (2) describe the facilities and services provided by these agencies and, (3) determine the charges assessed for the various facilities and services provided at the stockyards.
