WHERE AND WHEN IS THE CATTLE DRIVE?

The Old West comes to life before your eyes during the world's only twice-daily cattle drive presented by the Fort Worth Herd. Real Texas cowhands drive a herd of Texas longhorns down East Exchange Avenue in the Stockyards National Historic District every day at 11:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. 

The behind-the-scenes Fort Worth Herd Experience will take place Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. behind the Livestock Exchange Building at 131 East Exchange Avenue. 

Best Places to View The Herd:

Watch the Fort Worth Herd cattle drive from the sidewalks and restaurants on East Exchange Avenue. The longhorns reside in the corral located behind the Livestock Exchange Building where they eat, sleep, and are well cared for.
