Originally known as the Travis County Baby Beef Show and held just opposite the Texas state capital building, the rodeo has grown from these humble beginnings to encompass nearly a month's worth of events every year. The Travis County Expo Center was originally built in 1983 specifically to house the Star of Texas Rodeo and provides a perfect venue for the event's array of rodeo-themed events and exhibits.

Every spring, during the first weekend of March, many Austinites head to the shores of Lady Bird Lake to get a belly full of biscuits and gravy, bacon and sausage, eggs, and various other kinds of grub, including grits and hash browns, and with a full stomach, make plans to attend the rodeo.

It was suggested that we run a rodeo to raise much needed funds. That is how this all started. An annual rodeo at a nearby town was a success story from day one, so my committee thought it could be just as successful at our venue. So my education began.

Simply breeding cows and bulls at random will not produce the benefits that a well-organized, thoughtful breeding system can provide. Although this is not scientifically proven, here are some thoughts that I have on breeding bucking bulls.

Well, if you're only doing it for a week, it's plenty of fun. You can learn to ride a horse and rope cattle then get a massage. Being a cowgirl as a means of making a living is hard work outdoors, usually with cowboys. But that's not as much fun.

The event titles are big money on both sides of the bull rope.

But, usually the angry bull bucks off the rider long before it reaches eight seconds. One may think that it is eight seconds too soon, but when you are hanging by the bull with just one hand tightly fastened around the long braided rope, eight seconds can seem like a lifetime.

There are many cowboy posters as well as bronco riding posters as well as bull riding ones to choose from. If you are looking for some very good professional rodeo star posters then you should check out the works of Jack Sorenson who is a renowned Western artist and who also owns Leanin' Tree, which is the largest of America's greeting card companies with a Western theme.

Why? Well, I will tell you why, because the real men ride the rodeo and 15-seconds, hell 8 seconds is a literal eternity on a 6,000 to 8,000 pound bull of pure muscle that wants you the hell off of there.

This town usually contains only 5,000 people, but when fairtime rolls around that number swells.

This fair is held every year from late August to early September.

Getting up with the roosters, pulling on cowboy boots and dusting off hats retrieved from the back of the closet - for thousands of people, these rituals spell the start of the annual 10-day Stampede when everyone is a cowboy or a cowgirl for the duration, whether a counterman at a fast food outlet, a bank president or a multi-millionaire oilman.
