Cow Town Stockyards & Rodeo

Fort Worth, Texas and cattle go together.  Millions of cattle have gone through this city, and the historic stockyards area is now a tourist, dinning, museum, and shopping district.  They still keep a small herd of Texas Longhorn cattle and drive them down a section of street twice daily for visitors to see.  Although not in this video collage, we were able to peek into a cattle auction where real cattle were being bought and sold.  The cattle are now present at the auction via video monitors, but the auctioneer, buyers, and such are still there in person, complete with Stetson hats.
Hope you enjoy a little of our visit to the Fort Worth Stockyards and Rodeo.
