Fort Worth Herd

visited the Fort Worth Stockyards to see the cattle herd, and it was a great experience. The longhorns are massive, and seeing them up close is definitely memorable. The cattle drive started right on time and only lasted about five minutes, so get there early and be ready. They gave a short but interesting history of the American cowboy before the herd came through, which added to the experience. I also noticed afterward that there’s a small museum nearby—but I missed it this time, so that’s a reason to come back. Surprisingly, I didn’t mind the smell of the cattle either—adds to the authenticity! Overall, a fun and unique slice of Texas history. Worth checking out at least once.

Such a fun day!! We shopped, we drank, we enjoyed the history. The cattle walk is awesome. There was live music in the evening. Love that you can walk around with so much to do.

What an awesome free experience. You can watch the longhorns walk down the street twice a day. We were there on St Patrick’s weekend so the crowd was way bigger than usual. You can go see them in the holding pens before and after the cattle drives. There’s a bridge over the pen with great views of the longhorns.

We had the best time on this beautiful ride by the river. Our guide was knowledgeable about the area and fun to chat with. The horses were wonderful and so sweet. We chose the 6:00pm ride as we wanted to catch some of the sunset. It was beautiful. Even if you have 0 riding experience this is definitely a ride you'll want to take. We would absolutely do it again.

It’s worth coming to the Stockyards just to see these guys. Two drives are done daily. We caught the 4 pm drive and it was incredible to watch. They drive these guys right down the middle of the street like a parade. For reference, they are much slower moving than the Pamplona bulls. It is pretty safe. But all the same, be ready to move.

We loved our time at the Stockyards - wandering the streets, shopping, meeting the drovers/cowboys, learning about the longhorns, and watching the cattle drive. It is definitely something to experience at least once. Everyone we met was super friendly and we had a nice lunch. Definitely worth the drive from Dallas.

Whether you’re a history buff, an art lover, or just someone looking to experience the authentic Texan lifestyle, Fort Worth herd is a place that surprises you in the best way possible. It’s proud of its roots. Loved to watch long hord cattles around. We had great time

Beautiful animals! They walk through the Stockyard every day at 1130am and 400pm! Definitely see them if you get the chance!
