Description
The Dominique Livestock yards of Baton Rouge have what every livestock yard had if someone was asked what they remembered if they visited one.
The Catwalk allowed buyers and sellers to review the livestock prior to the sale giving them a chance to determine if they were interested in any of the hundreds of cattle, horses, pigs, sheep, goats that found their way through the yards.
I am fortunate to say I have seen the catwalks from both sides both from them and from under them while working the pens of Capitol Livestock as a teenager outside of Austin, Texas back in the late 60s/70s.
