Stockshow and Rodeo
The Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo is a huge event down here. We missed it last year so we decided for sure we would make it this year. You could tell we are not originally from here because I think we were the only people there not wearing boots and a cowboy hat.
When we first got there we went to the bull auction. The top bull went for $6,000.00 but the overall top bull of the stock show, which goes for about a month, went for $140,000.00. After the auction we went next door to the llama event. This thing was hilarious. It was an obsticale course that the llamas had to go through but they did it very slowly. Apparently they get startled very easily so there was calm music playing over the sound system and the handlers just walked them through the course.
After that, we went and looked at the cows, pigs and lambs. They had a demonstration on how they milk cows and would bring cows in every half hour to milk.
We had a fun time and now we feel little bit more like we've had the full Fort Worth experience.
