Field Series No. 02
Delta Stockyards: Trade, Tradition, and the Ties That Last
Every Thursday in Delta, Colorado, cattle trailers line up before sunrise. Men in straw hats lean on rails, boots in the dust, waiting for their number to be called. Deals are made with a nod. Stories are traded in the shade. This isn’t theater—this is the West still working.
The Delta Stockyards are more than a sale—they’re a meeting place. A living rhythm. A handoff from one generation to the next.
This Field Series documents the small details, the proud faces, the weathered gear, and the quiet power of community that holds it all together..
