Established in 1884, within the recollection of most shippers, the growth of the South Omaha
market has been phenomenal. The foresight of its founders was keen enough to see that the
time would come when Omaha would be the natural gateway through which the great bulk of
live stock must move from the range and farm to packer and consumer. The marvelous growth
of the South Omaha market is due chiefly to the advantages it possesses in its geographical loca
tion and its unexcelled transportation facilities, making it easily accessible alike to grower, feeder
and packer. The result of establishing a market at South Omaha has been to supply a home mar
ket for the western shipper. As such, more shippers each year are coming to recognize it. No ,
other single institution has done as much toward the development of Nebraska and the west, arid
its record has been such as to invite further patronage from the western shipper. ;

Best Range Cattle and Sheep Market
A glance at the receipts of cattle and sheep and the record of sales shows South Omaha to be the best
range market in the country. It is the best market for the western shipper because the freight is lower, trans
portation is -better, shrinkage lighter and the prices paid are just as good. It is more money in the shippers
pocket to sell his stuff at the nearest large market.
Greatest Feeder Market In SAe World
The advantage South Omaha possesses as an ideal location with relation to grower and feeder, became
known to both years ago, but each year brings increasing thousands of buyers to the South Omaha market for
supplies of teeding cattle and sheep. Unexcelled lines of transportatipn to the feeding districts of the central and
eastern states makes South Omaha an especially attractive market to prospective feeders there.. Quality as well
as quantity, contributes to South Omaha's fame as a feeder market.
Horse and Mule Market Unsurpassed
South Omaha has become widely known as the best Horse and Mule Market in the West. Buyers from
every state in the Union attend the great weekly Auction Sales of range horses and the special sales of natives
held by the firms of John S. Cooper and E.W. Anspach at the South Omaha yards. South Omaha is the natural
market of the country in which are raised the best horses and mules for all purposes.
