November
27, 1916 – After observations of the new outbreak of the foot
and mouth disease at important livestock centers of the Middle West, officials
of the South St. Paul Union Stock Yards Company this evening issued an embargo
against livestock shipments from Illinois as a precautionary measure.
Dr. F. D. Ketchum, veterinarian in charge of the Federal office of the bureau of animal industry at South St. Paul, received no advice today as to how to handle the situation. It was pointed out that the embargo would affect the stocker and feeder trade, as the restriction concerns that class of stock largely.
