It’s all about the cattle.

Old school – they drive a herd of longhorns down the cobblestone street twice a day.

Modern day – the livestock auction is all done online. No more noise and smell of thousands of head crammed into pens. Buyers sitting at monitors in a quiet air conditioned room check out and bid on the stock via live video feed from the ranch. Much more practical but not very exciting.

Still about the cattle: Cattlemen’s steakhouse. They have been in business at this location for more than 100 years. Practice has made just about perfect. Kent’s filet mignon, what fantastic flavor and tenderness. My ribeye was definitely one of the best steaks I have ever tasted.  We tried it because it’s a tourist “must do” but no regrets here.
