If you”re in the winter doldrums after the holidays, and you”re wishing for a good cattle show you could attend to pick your spirits up-think Fort Worth, TX!  The weather is usually mild, and the show is enthusiastically attended by spectators and exhibitors alike from several states to get an early test of the competition for the year to come.  Youth will kick off the dairy schedule with the Southwest Intercollegiate, 4-H and FFA Dairy Cattle Judging contest on Sunday, January 14th, while the dairy breed shows begin on Monday January 15th with the Texas State Brown Swiss and Guernsey shows, then the Jersey show and later in the afternoon, the Holsteins.  On Tuesday January 16th the Junior shows are scheduled.  Fort Worth Livestock Show and Rodeo began in 1896 and in 2007 runs from January 12th through February 4th. It will host some 22,000 animals including rabbits, lamas, goats,horses, beef and dairy cattle. It’’s a huge exposition with four acres of shopping, a variety of food and activities as only the state of Texas can host! It’’s a great competitive show and a welcome respite if you are seeking a cure for the winter blues and can get away for a couple of days! Can”t get away?  Check our website for show results!
