At one time the second largest stockyards in the country, the Omaha Stockyards are featured in this excerpt of the film "The New Pioneers," from around 1953.
I remember riding with my Dad to Omaha with a load of cattle in his old Ford truck. After Omaha closed, we went to Burwell where they had a large sale barn.
It's mostly gone now. I live about two miles north of there. We still have signs reading "Report manure spills" and "Report odor". With a city 444 number.
