If you’re planning to take the family to the Stockyards for Easter this Sunday, April 5, then heads up. There will not be cattle drives at the 11:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. times. In fact, the cattle drive pauses for Easter, Thanksgiving, or Christmas Day. The more you know. Instead, take the fam down Mule Alley or go to the Easter Egg Hop.
