Holman Waitt and the Cattle Business

The legacy of the Waitt family's impact on Siouxland began when George Waitt (shown here) started his livestock commission business in the stockyards in 1887. He was part of the reorganization of the Union Stock Yards Co. into the Sioux City Stockyards Co. in 1887. This 1977 interview with his son, Sioux City cattleman Holman Waitt chronicles the family's involvement in the local cattle industry.
