I’ve always been more of a city slicker myself, but today is the national day of the American Cowboy – and folks are having a great day role-playing at the stockyards in Fort Worth.

It’s for the 17th annual celebration of the American Cowboy.
There are chuckwagons, cowboy poetry, face painting, live music, cow, milking, armadillo, racing, and Risky's famous BBQ is hosting a rib eating contest today until 8 p.m.
