Abstract

Excerpts from the report Summary: Three market layouts are proposed for a livestock auction market in the Appalachian area that sorts animals into grades and market classes and weighs them as they arrive at the market. Each layout is designed for a different number of animals . The No. 1 type of market is designed to handle 400 cattle, 180 calves, 400 sheep, and 300 hogs; the No. 2 market 350 cattle, 125 calves, and 600 hogs; and the No. 3 market 590 cattle, 245 calves, 315 sheep, and 125 hogs. The proposed layouts include improved designs and arrangements of the yards, sales barn, market driveways, unloading and loading aprons, and parking areas for market patrons. Specific designs include improved layouts for the receiving-weighing area and the sales barn. For each of the 3 proposed layouts, the suggested lines of flow during the receiving, selling, and loading out cycles are shown. The estimated costs of constructing the proposed markets, based upon general construction costs in this area in 1957, are: The No. 1 market, $87,209; the No. 2 market, $72,893; and the No. 3 market, $92,330. The cost of the land and the cost of putting the land in condition to build are not included in these estimates.
