Profile America -- Tuesday, Jan. 27. One of the biggest barnyards in the U.S. is open through February 8th at The 108th Southwestern Exposition Livestock Show and Rodeo in Fort Worth, Texas. Close to a million people will jam the Will Rodgers Memorial Center during the show for pageantry, carnival rides, entertainment and a top-drawer rodeo. They'll also get a chance to see nearly 22-thousand head of livestock including not only beef and dairy cattle, but horses, donkeys and mules, as well as poultry, sheep, goats and swine, and even llamas, pigeons and rabbits. There are 97-million head of cattle on U.S. farms and ranches, along with 60-million hogs and pigs and nearly 7-million sheep.
