Local steer wins in Fort Worth
Fort Worth Herd steer T Bar W Imperial Chex claimed Longhorn Grand Champion Trophy Steer at the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo Jan. 21.
Imperial Chex was donated to the Fort Worth Herd in 2013 by John and Rebecca Wampler of T Bar W Ranch in Wood County.
“Imperial Chex was the first longhorn born on our ranch,” said donor Rebecca Wampler “I am so excited and happy.”
T Bar W Ranch has been a huge supporter of the Fort Worth Herd for the past seven years, and has graciously donated six steers to the program.
Show judge Brandon Callis of Minco, Okla. said, “This steer is very impressive and represents what I like.”
The Fort Worth Herd, a department of Visit Fort Worth, was created as a part of the city’s sesquicentennial celebration and made its first cattle drive June 12, 1999 in front of 15,000 spectators.
“Chex is truly a magnificent animal that compliments the rest of the steers in the twice daily cattle drive,” said Kristin Jaworski, trail boss for the Fort Worth Herd. “We are proud to have another champion in the Herd.”
In twenty years, 9 million spectators have watched 14,148 cattle drives and the Fort Worth Herd has interacted with over 18,000 students annually through tour groups and education programs. The Herd has also made special media and event appearances in New York City, Galveston and Austin.
The Fort Worth Herd cattle drive occurs twice daily, at 11:30 a.m. and 4 p.m., on East Exchange Avenue in the Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District. To support the Herd, contributions can be made to Friends of the Fort Worth Herd at www.FortWorthHerd.com.
