Edwin LaMott of Silver Lake has been a livestock truck driver for 61 of his 83 years. Even though one of his most frequent destinations, the South St. Paul stockyards, closed April 11, LaMott continues to keep on trucking.

LaMott received the stockyards’ End of an Era trucker award on the 11th, for his loyalty to the South St. Paul Stockyards, Central Livestock — the stockyards’ owner — and his dedication to the livestock industry.

How much longer will this World War II veteran continue to haul cattle, sheep and hogs to market?
