February is Livestock Month in San Antonio

Yes, many of the big cattle drives of the late 1800´s began form ranches just outside of San Antonio. 

So, February is the month we re-dedicate ourselves to those days. 
It´s almost an entire month of livestock shows and activities.

And, this was the week-end when it all began.......

when we herd the cattle through downtown streets.

Well, it´s not Pamplona. 
The folks are smart enough to stay outside the plastic fencing, and just shoot some pics. 

Though pretty big, you have to admit they are tamed enough to let the cowboys ride on top!

Once in a while, one might get to be a little free spirited.

And, yes, sometimes it seems I get a little close.

Enough for now.
Maybe tomorrow I will show some more pics of the parade or maybe even some of them getting ready for the big event.
