"More than 60 livestock terminal markets are located across the United States. All of them are supervised under the regulations of the Packers and Stockyards Act which is a Federal law requiring open, competitive markets free of unfair trade practices. USDA livestock market news reporters cover the transactions there between buyers and sellers and make their reports available to the public. These photographs, taken for the USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service, illustrate some of the activities in livestock terminal markets."
