Rio Grande Valley Livestock Show

On March 16th we took advantage of "Senior Citizen's Day" and attended the RGV Livestock Show.  It was held during "Texas Week" which is Spring Break for all Texas schools. Similar to our MN State Fair, the Livestock Show gives kids from 4H and FFA chapters around the Valley a chance to show their animals and be judged for ribbons & prizes. This was the 72nd Annual show...we saw many different breeds of beef cattle, including huge Brahman bulls weighing over 2000 pounds! There was also a three day old Brahman calf with its mother. Other animals being shown were hogs, goats, sheep, rabbits, and a few chickens...kind of took us back to our Farm Roots.
