I was born in Fort Worth and grew up on a ranch 45 minutes north of Cowtown. Once or twice a year -- depending on the size of the herd -- we loaded up some cattle and trailered them down to the stockyard. The place stank something awful, but it was money. Years later, when the stockyards were closed and the place was cleaned up, I drove to the Stockyards for the restaurants, the entertainment, and the shopping. Still get my boots from Leddy's.

I live in Ft Worth in 1975 and drove by the stockyards just about every day. The place was full of bars and honky-tonks.

Proud people who live in fort worth and area arround. I love this, along

A few gaps: The Stockyards also handled horses and hog. I even knew of a herd of turkeys that were delivered to Ft. Worth. I hate to differ with this good lady, but anyone who has read Riding's Chisholm Trail knows that it did NOT extend into Texas. The cattle trail through Texas was used, but the old cowboys said that they joined the Chisholm Trail at the Red or at the Cimarron River. If you go today to northern Waco, you will find a road sign that says, Old Dallas Road. If you had been in Austin during the trail driving days, you would have journyed on the "San Antonio" road to San Antonio. Just as cows were rebranded at that time, the trail has been rebranded by men who should know better.

"[T]he old cowboys said that they joined the Chisholm Trail at the Red or at the Cimarron River." Well, that's funny. There is a plaque in Decatur that says the Chisholm Trail went through the town. IIRC the plaque is on the grounds of the Waggener Mansion.

The nation's taste did not change. Just more efficient and took up less land to feed them corn.

Grass makes muscle. Corn makes fat. The reason cattle were fed corn in stockyards was that grain is easier -- and thus cheaper -- to deliver to cattle to eat and that corn was the cheapest grain available.

Spanish then Mexican were the real cowboys which ranching was taught to whites who only knew farming and no history of ranching. It’s funny 1900 you have history which Mexico was here sine 1700 and Mexico is 500 years old. Downey California

Thank you for pointing out the ranching heritage that the Texans received from Mexico. I got the impression that the herders of the eastern US were the two-legged kind. When they came to Texas, they had to fork a horse or be left behind.

Lots of the cowboys were vacqueros. Lots were freed slaves, too. Depending on whom you read, one quarter to one third of cowboys were black. Cowboying is a dangerous, dirty, back-breaking job. On the scale of desirable jobs, it ranks below garbage collector and sewage worker. IMO. (FWIW I grew up a cowboy. I found other work as soon as I could.)

@@Californiansurfer If ignorance is bliss, you must must be one happy fellow. Texas became a slave state when it entered the union. It continued a slave state when it seceded and joined the Confederacy. After the American Civil War, many freed slaves became cowboys. There is a Black Cowboy Museum in Rosenberg, Texas. BTW not 'their was' but 'there was'. And, yes, there was slavery in Mexico under Spanish rule. IIRC slavery was abolished under the Constitution of 1824.
