This week I’m co-hosting the Texas Tuesday link up with Amanda from Princess of the Panhandle and Crystal from Masons Mama. This is a chance for any blogger to participate in a post on the greatness of Texas! There’s so much to explore!
This week I’m going to talk about a great event that goes on everyday in Fort Worth. It is a true taste of the wild west, the Fort Worth Stockyards and a must see for anyone visiting the area. The Fort Worth Stockyards bring the old town wild west into modern day Fort Worth. It’s one of my favorite places in this area!
Twice a day, the cattle is driven down the street by cowboys, just as they were years ago. It’s a sight to see! Coming from someone who completely loves these animals, it’s even better!
Once the cattle drive is complete, head on over around the corner for a live shootout! That’s right! I said shootout! Be sure to stand close and pay attention so you can take part and see all the action of the gun show!
If you are in the area or if you’ve lived here your entire life, head on over to check this out. The best part is that it’s free so if you have a family, this is a great , affordable outing for an hour or two. Enjoy the great spring weather with a little bit of free, Western entertainment!
Be sure to link your Texas Tuesday posts below!
You captured some great pictures! I love Ft Worth and i dont live far from it but i just dont get over there enough.
Thanks! I love Ft Worth too! One of my favorite cities!
I’ve been telling my hubby for awhile that I want to go to the stockyards – we’re heading up to the panhandle this summer and I”m hoping we’ll stop in Ft. Worth for awhile so I can finally get over there! Loved your pictures!

The Stockyards are awesome! I hope you get to stop in! If you do, let me know and I’ll suggest a few of my favorite spots to check out in the area! It’s definitely unique!
I want to get up there (from Austin) to see the stockyards! We are going to a football game and the state fair in October and I think I will put this on my list as well!
