The Fort Worth Herd’s twice-daily cattle drive will pause starting Thursday, November 20 and is scheduled to resume on Friday, November 28. Following the recommendation of the Texas Animal Health Commission, this pause is out of an abundance of caution following reports of Equine Herpesvirus (EHV-1) cases that could affect the health of horses.
EHV-1 does not pose a health risk to humans or our longhorn steers. At this time, we have no cases of this virus reported within the Herd. This pause allows our veterinary partners to complete monitoring protocols and ensure the continued wellbeing of our animals.
Considering the city's role as an important stop for cattle drovers along the Chisholm Trail, it's no wonder that beef is king in Fort Worth. From comfortable and casual to special-occasion worthy, Fort Worth has no shortage of quality barbecue in Cowtown.
