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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Such a beautiful exhilarating experience! These cattle are so amazing to see up close. Magical is the closest word I can think of to describe the whole experience of the Fort Worth Stockyard. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Shops were fun and authentic. Streets were beautiful and clean. Even the restrooms were clean! The smells, the sounds, the air took you away to another time. Can't wait to go back.

I could watch this all day. I was only in Fort Worth for a short time, so I was only able to watch it twice. Definitely make the time to see this historic event. I recommend standing on the end of the herd. The turn down the alley is a great view. So right where they block the road off.
