Packing point, for hours each day, it would take 8 years and 5 months for this string of livestock to pass. A recent departure in livestock transportation has been the use of motor trucks. Each year more and more livestock are arriving at public markets in trucks, rather than freight cars. For the eight month. preceding March 1, 1930, there were more than 83,000 head of livestock listed as drive-i- n receipts at the Ogden union stock yards. By far, the largest proportion of this number were brought here by trucks at the rate of an average of 2G truck loads per day. To take care of this new business, there has just been completed at the yards a new truck-i- n division, consisting of a modern barn, covering the 36 pens to accommodate the handling of production than has formerly been of these small lots of livestock.
