Cattle Drive in the Stockyards


I took this video at the Fort Worth Stockyards. Everyday, the cowboys herd all the cattle from their pens to another pen down the street. They do this 2 times a day, so that at night they are in the pen they originally started in. They have been doing this cattle drive for about 5 years. It is so neat how this cattle drive is open for the public to see. I was thankful to catch it on such a beautiful day, because Texas weather can be pretty unpredictable! If you look behind the cowboys head (when the video is at 00:27) you can see a part of the historic FORT WORTH STOCKYARDS sign. You will notice the lead cowboy, who yells out calls that get all the cattle to come. The cowboys on the sides are there to just make sure the cattle stay in line. This is a pretty remarkable sight because it is something you don't usually see everyday.
