Lonely Planet review for Union Stockyards Gate
The Union Stockyards Gate was once the main entrance to the vast stockyards where millions of cows and almost as many hogs met their ends each year. During the 1893 World’s Expo the stockyards were a popular tourist draw, with nearly 10,000 people a day making the trek here to stare, awestruck, as the butchering machine took in animals and spat out blood and meat.
