The first Dairy Festival I actually checked out in Texas was the Stephenville Dairy Festival. Stephenville is known as the Cowboy Capital of Texas, low and behold I was amazed when I actually learned they had dairy farms too! (My kind of place!)
Stephenville is a little over an hour south of Fort Worth, home to Tarleton State University. This is also where Ty Murray and Jewel call home. As with the Dairy Festival in Sulphur Springs, the Dairy Festivals here are small.
Getting there is half the fun. You get to enjoy the Texas Hill Country! My Favorite!
I would love land of my own!
I would love my own barn!
When we arrived, it was a smaller festival than expected. There were livestock, kids petting area, ice cream, and a covered area with crafts and booths. If I remember correctly, there was even live music!
Strays….
It’s a dairy festival! Of course there was holsteins!
This guy was up for raffle. I wanted him. I have no idea where I would put him but I wanted him. Maybe someday on my ranch I’ll have a few.
The event was held at one of the local parks. Admission was free and is great for families.
