This is the deep America.
Today we have come to see a rodeo.
And it turns out that the rodeo that is organized here in San Antonio is one of the largest in all Texas
And one of the most historical ones too.
All I see is trucks everywhere.
I'm sure that this rodeo thing makes you remember all the Cowboy movies
or a far West movie
where are cowboys with lassos
catching cows and all that.
Well, that's what we saw.
The goal of rodeos, or at least in the past, was to buy and sell livestock
but nowadays it's like some sort of festival with music and all that
but there are also cattle.
Look here there are some young cowboys with the ropes.
Very Texan
In the early afternoon, we went to see the livestock
I was very surprised by what we saw there
Not only Eloy was run over by a pig
But we could also see some kind of a pig contest where
the pig that had better physical features would win
In this competition, kids are walking the pigs they have raised
and they are risking a lot of money because raising pigs is very expensive
and the score they are given will influence in the final price
I think the girl´s pig has won the contest because of the shape of the jaw, the ears, the tail ... I do not know ...
We met some breeders
They proudly showed us the pigs they had raised.
This smells ...
horrible.
Poor guys!
After visiting in the livestock area
with the animals
and with all the horrible smell ( I also stepped on a piggy poop)
We went to see the rodeo. And the rodeo ...
Where should I begin?
After having seen the contest of pigs and cows we are going to see the rodeos
I think there is nothing more authentic than this.
What a vlog!
This is the most genuine Texan experience I've had since I came here.
Rodeos are something that has been doing since the late nineteenth century
and it was about cowboys meeting and challenging each other
and they also commercialized with the cattle.
This has evolved and not only that has been left in the livestock
now concerts are also done
and there is the funfair, with rides for the kids.
Imagine a stadium. A very large stadium.
Full of people dressed like cowboys
I mean, with the hat
and with all the clothes you can imagine a cowboy wearing
and there were all the people waiting for the cowboys to come out to do the show.
There is many, many people
in this rodeo.
I mean, it looks like a Katy Perry concert
Katy Perry did not sell out in this stadium.
As soon as the show started, the presenter intoned the American anthem
All attendees stood with one hand on the heart
and they began to sing the United States of America anthem.
Then they thanked God for America and for the show that we were going to see.
And finally the rodeo began.
And the rodeo consisted of a few cowboys riding horses
and these horses were trying to throw them down
because they were carrying some kind of strings tightened around their testicles
So what the horse was really doing was trying to get rid of these ropes.
And their goal was to ride the horse for at least 8 seconds to get the prize.
When we thought we had seen almost everything
we saw
that there were others who, instead of riding a pissed horse, they would try to ride a pissed bull.
And yes, if in your mind you are visualizing those cowboys in the movies
catching the cattle
while they are on a horse
indeed, that also happened in the contest.
What do you think of this show, Eloy?
It was definitely a very curious experience
at least animals in the rodeo, after they were released
from the ropes
they left by their own means, just walking
So....
I think that what is done in Spain with the bulls is more brutal
Did you like the rodeo Elo?
After this, I think I had a huge dose
of the deep America this weekend
But I had a great time.
Cows are so cool
When I have a big house, I'm going to get a cow.
- For food? - No way!
