There was at one time, located near the Union Pacific
Depot in Lost Wages, Nevada, the watering facilities
for those lucky porkers on their way to Framer John's.
Getting them watered and out of town before the wind
changes direction(s).

Stock pens also would have been located in areas that didn't raise livestock as there was a legal requirement to unload, feed, water and rest livestock in transit.
As far as stockyards being a place were cattle are better off not being aware of the next step in their journey keep in mind the major stockyards were more than the final destination before the slaughterhouse. The Chicago stockyards in particular were a place
were animals were sold and transported further east and to other points, or sold as breeding stock.
