Abstract:
In 2004, Robert Crabb, Jr., and a group of investors purchased the Carolina Stockyards from Howard and Harry Horney, who had owned it since 1950. Located in Siler City, the stockyard sold about $40 million in livestock in 2004, which included 86, 673 head of cattle, 4,700 goats, a few horses, and one llama. Commissions on sales averaged about 2.7 percent.
