"Cattle Market" uses clips from a single recording at a rural town cattle market.
All sounds are as-recorded, only clipped, overlayed and balanced. The cattle market sounds struck me as a wonderful mix of loud, percussive and squealing sounds from the cattle gates with the harsh shouts of the men, the often musical sounds of the cows and the rhythmic bidding of the auctioneer. The photo is from the same location.
