The Reno Rodeo kicks up the dust today at the Livestock Event Center, but before that the cattle have to be driven into town and again this year, Channel 2 is along for the ride.
Andi Guevara camped over night in Hungry Valley and is ready to bring down the cattle.
A former cow boss tells us that they started with one wagon and an bunch of cowboys but now-- 27 years later-- at least half a dozen wagons and more than 100 people are moving 300 head of cattle from California to Nevada.
The well-loved tradition takes a lot of work and manpower, but the cowboys and cow bosses say it's worth it.
The Reno Cattle Drive will be coming down Clear Acre Boulevard and heading towards the Livestock Event Center Thursday morning.Â
NDOT says McCarran Boulevard will be closed on Thursday from about 11 am until 1 pm between Clear Acre and Sutro for the cattle drive.
