The 2014 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, which kicks off next week, is a lot of things. The month-long celebration at Reliant Park promotes livestock and farm products, offers a venue for research and education within the livestock industry, a wide variety of 4-H events, includes the largest rodeo in the world, and a month filled with great concerts. It’s also a charity designed to benefit Texas youth.

We preview this year’s Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. We talk with Leroy Shafer, the rodeo’s Chief Operating Officer, and Jorge Franz from the Greater Houston Convention and Visitors Bureau. And we welcome your questions about all things Rodeo Houston.
