A last-of-its-kind big city stockyard is coming to an end. The Oklahoma National Stockyards, located in downtown Oklahoma City, is up for sale.
The 100-acre property is near the site of a new NBA arena and what may become the country’s tallest skyscraper, making it prime real estate.
The property has been owned by the same family since 1910. The owners say the younger generations are not interested in the hard work required to keep it going.
Farmers have expressed disappointment, calling the stockyard vital for their family’s livelihoods.
