Montgomery was where the CBQ had their sheep barns and large feed and rest station. Livestock coming from the west would be unloaded here to fulfill the requirements of the 28 hour law. Owners would sometimes request livestock be held for a period of time at feed and rest stations, to fatten them up while hoping for prices to improve. Prices fluctuated based upon supply and demand. If a plant was short of animals and had orders for meat, they would bid up the price. If Chicago had a glut of animals, prices would fall in Chicago. Thus setting up a situation where prices at a plant in Iowa or Missouri might be higher than Chicago leading to a westward livestock move if the farmer/rancher thought he would get a better price. Meat packing plants were scattered throughout the midwest. Doug Harding www.iowacentralrr.org ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
