Fort Worth Herd
Giddyup! Watch real cowboys in action as they drive the Fort Worth Herd daily. In the morning, the cattle drive begins at the far east end of Exchange Avenue. Traveling west past the Stockyards Visitor’s Center and Livestock Exchange Building, the cattle drive ends at Cowtown Coliseum. In the afternoon, the herd is driven in the opposite direction, returning to the pens behind the Livestock Exchange Building. Depending on the disposition of the cattle, the trail boss has the right to cancel any drive; so have an alternate activity plan, just in case.

Take a gander at the handprint wall of fame, climb atop the photo bull for a picture souvenir, play in the arcades, or peruse the gift shop for some tacky Texas remembrances of your travels.
