("alley belting" (belting used in a mine on a conveyer to move minerals from underground to the surface) which is sold to cattle farmers who install the belting in cattle barns to provide a surface on which cow can walk that is less slippery, is exempt from sales tax because the belting equipment is used directly in livestock or dairy production).
