America's last big-city stockyard in downtown Oklahoma City is up for sale

In the heart of thriving Oklahoma City lies a more than 100-year-old relic to the city's western heritage: one of the largest cattle stockyards in the world. As many as 10,000 head of cattle are bought and sold every week at the Oklahoma National Stockyards. The prime 100-acre property along the banks of the Oklahoma River is now on the auction block with a price tag of $27 million. Even with cattle prices at record highs, the market has always been a volatile one. Recently the market has been impacted by years of drought, higher production costs and the lowest number of cattle in the U.S. since the 1950s.
