Colorado State Fair Texas Longhorn Show - 1982

COLORADO STATE FAIR TEXAS LONGHORN SHOW -- 1982. Colorado was the place that Texas Longhorn cattle came out of the swamps and began their march to national prominence. Colorado promoted the first Championship Steer show during the National Western, 1975. The first downtown Texas Longhorn cattle drive for over 100 years was through Colorado Springs. The first Texas Longhorn halter show was at the National Western in Denver. The first state fair Texas Longhorn show was in Colorado at Pueblo.
This film records the 7th annual show. It shows the beauty of the early shows with a small number of classes, large entry numbers, a truly western flavor and fantastic spectator appeal. No show sticks, no hair grooming or clipping of any kind -- just honest presentations of the breed. Texas Longhorns had their own identity, their own shows and totally unique sizzle like no other breed show. The complete honesty of presentation was admired by all.
This was captured from a very old 2nd generation VHS. For educational purposes.
