Fort Worth Herd

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. Every detail of the cattle drive—from the saddles and chaps to the boots and hats – is authentic and historically true.

The behind-the-scenes Fort Worth Herd Experience will take place Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. and is located at 129 East Exchange Avenue Fort Worth, TX 76164.

Celebrating 25 Years

The Fort Worth Herd was established on June 12, 1999 to commemorate the city’s early history, and has been under the management of Visit Fort Worth since 2010. The Herd consists of 17 longhorn steers, one steer for every decade since Fort Worth’s founding. Steers are led down East Exchange Avenue by a historically authentic, diverse team of drovers who represent Texas. The spectacle has captivated almost 20 million people since its inception. Twenty-five years of entertainment, education and enhancement of Fort Worth’s image as a cornerstone of the American West.
