Excerpt from Papers Read Before the Lancaster County Historical Society, Friday, April 5, 1918, Vol. 22: Report of the Centennial Observance of Lancaster City; Minutes of April Meeting
How few are aware of the size of the cattle business of Lancaster and that in dollars 'it reached upwards of last year. Lancaster has come to be regarded as the largest shipping and receiving station for cattle and other live stock in the East. Starting twenty-two years ago, the Union Stock Yards of Lancaster to-day has three hundred pens to suitably provide for the carloads of live stock handled in 1917, of which all but 157, devoted to hogs and sheep, were needed in the care of the incoming and outgoing cattle. This means four to five miles of cars stretched in a continuous line, and if we estimate thirty head to the car we have upwards of head of cattle, or substantially seven hundred head for each of the three hundred working days in the year. In passing it may be remark-cd that some of these cattle last year came from Edmonton, the capital of the province of Alberta, Canada, miles away.
