This event is timed and whoever can stay on the longest, wins the prize. Two riders compete in a roping event with a young calf. Calf roping is based off of work that ranchers do and is one of the oldest rodeo events. Children show off their goats to judges in hopes of winning the blue ribbon. The first Stock Show was held in March 1896 just off of Marine Creek in north Fort Worth. Families gather around Will Rogers Coliseum in Fort Worth to watch the rodeo events, eat and spend a day out in the sun. The annual event draws thousands of visitors.
