we're sorting all the cows today.

And tomorrow is the parade, so it's a really good day.

It's a little bit nerve wracking to have 3540 had a lot more cattle in downtown Denver.

we started at 18 years ago.

We had about 2500 peopl on the street year before last, mayor's office estimated around 900,000. that's what the longhorn cattle have done for the National Western.

Such a great big crowd.

Crowd.

it's a monumental task to get ready to go to Denver.

Cows aren't always predictable.

So what we do is we, we watc these cattle all all day long.

Sometimes we handle them horseback.

We handle them in pens.

We know which ones are just a little bit on the edge.

And maybe not as town broke.

Yes.

And so we'll bring some in that maybe aren't quite as pretty or aren't quite as as gentle to handle.

And we'll sort them back out into the pasture, leave them home and just take the ones that, enjoy going.

We don't really see Denver as Cow Town anymore, but that's its history.

The stockyards are Denver's history.

The rail yards are Denver's history.
