Where's the beef??

Monday Feb 15, 2010 . We drove into Fort Worth and saw the Stockyards. In "the day", up until the mid 1980's, this was the central gathering point for cattle from the west, were buyers would come to purchase the animals. They offer an reenactment of the cattle drives down Exchange St. While these cattle are pretty tame, it is still very impressive. It's hard to imagine 100's to 1,000's of these "horny" creatures coming down to street. The statue is of Bill Pickett who was on of the first Black cowboys. He developed the cattle wrestling that is used today in rodeos. His unusual technique was to bite the nose of the animal.
We visited Billy Bob's which is the largest Honky Tonk ( bar) in the world. However the action doesn't start until evening. They regularly fill the place on Fri. and Sat.nites to capacity (2,000 people)
