Fort Worth Stockyards are in the old historic district of Fort worth. At one time this was the 2 largest stockyards in US. Thousands of head of cattle, horses and mules were sold through here. Today they have a rodeo every Friday and Saturday night. About 3 blocks have all been restored to shopping and restaurants with a western them. Every day at 11am and 4 Pm they herd a dozen long horns through the streets with cowboys on horses. The rodeo hall of fame is here as well as Billy Bob Texas, the largest Honky Tonk in the world. Sellout is 6500 people.

I hope the long horns are well trained and well behaved. 'Only in Texas' as it's said ..... or maybe Alberta!
