[CBQ] Montgomery Sheepyard question

["o_rrman" <mofferman@ameritech.net>]

At the Sheepyard in Montgomery, IL, were the stock loading platforms at the top of the wooden ramps also made of wood or were they cement?  Based on a long ago conversation with Steve Holding I got the impression that the platforms were wider than the ramps because he mentioned that the gates could extend.  Just not sure about the platform material.  Historic aerial photos are not clear enough to tell.  Photos from Bulletins don't seem to help either.  Today there is a concrete platform to the east of the lumber treatment plant and the old north stock barn (barn 1?).  It looks old but not sure whether it's related to livestock operations.

Thanks, Mike Offerman, Oswego IL
