1969 Press Photo Cattle held at Friona, Texas feedlot. - hpa05344
This is an original press photo. One of the greatest developments in Texas agriculture in recent years has been the growth of the feedlot business as Texas cattle are finished on Texas grain. This has brought new industry into the state and the big growth has been in the Texas Panhandle where several new beef processing plants have been built. An indication of this growth was a report that showed on September 1 the number of cattle on feed in the state had increased by 54 percent over last year. This photograph of one of the new feedlots at Friona shows the extent of the development. There were 1,316,000 head on feed in the state on September 1. This was a 5 percent increase over a month ago. Most of the cattle, 97 percent of them, were in the larger lots, those that can handle 1,000 or more. The big feedlots' operations are up 55 percent over a year ago. Feedlots with less than 1,000 capacity held 35,000 head, an increase for this group of 17 percent over a year ago. More cattle were also going into the lots in August with the latest report showing 275,000 head, an increase of 28 percent over the previous year. A total of 217,000 head were marketed in August, an increase of 43 percent over the previous August. This new agricultural economic development is expected to make the Panhandle area the nation's biggest beef production section. CattlePhoto measures 8.25 x 10.25inches. Photo is dated 09-28-1969.

FAQs
Q: Can I just download a digital version instead?
A: No, we sell only vintage originals and do not make or distribute any copies, including digital ones.
Q: Do you combine shipping and invoices?
A: Multiple photos won on the same seller ID combine automatically through the eBay checkout process. If you encounter problems with this, send us a message via eBay messaging and we will send you an invoice. Due to eBay limitations, we cannot combine items won on our different seller IDs for a single shipping charge.
Q: How quickly do you ship the items once paid?
A: We ship within one business day after your payment clears. If you do not receive an "order shipped" email from us by the close of the second business day from submitting payment, please e-mail us via eBay messaging.
Q: How do you make sure my photograph arrives safely?
A: We package each order between two cross-corrugated pieces of cardboard to ensure that the package is as difficult to bend as possible. We then wrap each order in a plastic sheet to help protect against moisture. We want you to rest assured that we take every precaution to ensure that the photograph you receive will be in the same condition in your care as it was in ours.
Q: Will the "Historic Images" watermark be on my photo when I receive it?
A: No. This is a digital watermark we use to protect our images. It is not printed on the photo.
Q: What are your office hours?
A: eBay for us is a business, and a very fun one to be in! We are open M-F 9 to 5 (CST). Therefore, we do not return e-mails and phone calls over the weekend. We observe the following holidays: New Years Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and the day after Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
Q: Where did all these vintage photos come from?
A: These original vintage photographs are from various news service and newspaper photo archives from locations around the country including: Boston, Detroit, Tampa, Chicago, Denver, Seattle, New Orleans, Milwaukee, Portland, Spokane, and more. We do not copy or reproduce any photographs -- every item is a unique vintage piece that was housed in a news archive.
Q: Can I use this photograph in my book/blog/website?
A: The short answer is no. There is no transfer of copyright for republication or reproduction with these photographs when you purchase them, and only photographs taken before 1923 are currently automatically in the public domain. Permission from the copyright holder, which usually can be identified from the back of each photo, must be sought to republish or reproduce the image for any purpose.
Q: Do you relist items (in case I miss an auction ending)?
A: Auction items that receive no bids are relisted in our store (historicimages-store on eBay) as a fixed-price item and at a higher price than the starting auction price.
Q: Do you leave feedback?
A: Yes, we always leave feedback for buyers. Our software monitors when our buyers leave us feedback, then notifies us that we can leave feedback for the buyer. Rest assured, if you leave feedback, we will do the same!

About Us
Historic Images was formed in September 2009, with a handful of scanners working out of a basement to digitize newspaper photo archives. We have since moved out of the basement, and we can now archive thousands of photos per day. Our company has worked with magazines and newspapers from Detroit, Boston, Denver, Seattle, Tampa, Chicago, and New Orleans, just to name a few.
We are constantly adding to our inventory, and have assembled an archive of millions of photos to date. As our company evolved, we began our eBay business, which brings thousands of fresh auctions per week to the world's largest online auction marketplace. Our custom software systems and team of great employees allow us to efficiently scan and sell large photo archives online. At the very core of our company's DNA is a strong commitment to customer satisfaction and strict integrity for our product. Our promise to you is that we will do everything in our power to provide you a great buying experience.
