We spent a long weekend in Ft. Worth and caught this 4pm daily cattle drive in The Stockyards. The day before had been a lovely sunny and 75, but a cold front took it down to freezing that night, and folks were bundled up in scarves and hoodies.

This guy led the drive down the cobblestone street.

That solid longhorn (in beautiful burnt orange!) made me laugh, because he kept nudging the cow in front of him with his horns.
It only lasted a few minutes, but it was hard not to want to step out and touch them.

Big Hoss brought up the caboose, and then it was over. Afterward, we got some old-time bottled soda and meandered through the shops. A fun way to round out the twilight hours. But this sign did catch my editor’s eye and caused me to grimace.

Haha, that must have been a really funny experience. Definitely a feeling of the “true Texas”

No matter how you spell it, “Belssing” or not. It did put a smile on my face. Glad to know I’m not the only one who suffers from occasional typo’s.

It’s always a bel-ssing to watch the cattle drive, right ?

That sounds like Bergen-Belsen, which was certainly not a blessing!

Long horn cows are pretty cool. Odd but cool. This cattle drive seems pretty tame compared to the ones I’ve seen in old movies. In either event “Don’t Mses with Texas.” Right?

Blasphemous spelling! Yes, it was very tame. Like a Golden Girls cattle drive.

Well I guess even the Golden Girls need to be driven a little bit.
