I see more cattle there in one day than I see in a year. You can experience looking out over 1,000 head up on top of the catwalk.

Wishing I was there also!!! Just couldn't make it all happen this year. Havn't been since 2001 Just looking at photos of the yards really makes me think about how it used to be, Hoping that maybe we get world crisis' straightened out, so the next generations can realize what really built this country, honesty,hard work and the 3 "R's" Respect for others, Respect for ones self, and Responsibility.
Keep photos/ updates coming. Thanks L Day "DFF"
