Since 1958, the event , sponsored and run by the Sweetwater Jaycees, has been held annually in March at the Nolan County Coliseum. The Round-Up was started as a way to control the population of snakes in their brushy area of Texas. According to the Jaycees, the large population of rattlesnakes was harming local farmers and ranchers who were losing their livestock to these natural predators.  Today, the round-up attracts tens of thousands of visitors, bent on sampling fried rattesnake or beef barbecue, prepared in what the organizers call "the biggest barbecue cook-off ever seen." And buses take interested visitors on tours to let people get the feel of the rattlesnake's habitat.</image:caption></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://texaswildlifescience.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/fig-15-26-linam-160-6055_img.jpg</image:loc><image:title>Fig 15-26 Linam 160-6055_IMG</image:title></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://texaswildlifescience.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/fig-15-25-ornate-box-turtle.jpg</image:loc><image:title>Fig 15-25 ornate box turtle</image:title></image:image><lastmod>2025-09-04T16:26:53+00:00</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq></url><url><loc>https://texaswildlifescience.com/2023/07/01/chapter-9-texas-deserts-and-shrublands/</loc><image:image><image:loc>https://texaswildlifescience.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/trans-pecos.png</image:loc><image:title>Trans Pecos</image:title></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://texaswildlifescience.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/tx_texas_cienega_8.5x11_1.png</image:loc><image:title>Tx_Texas_Cienega_8.5x11_1</image:title></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://texaswildlifescience.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/trans-pecos-ratsnake.jpg</image:loc><image:title>Trans-Pecos ratsnake</image:title></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://texaswildlifescience.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/stockton-plateau2.jpg</image:loc><image:title>Stockton Plateau2</image:title></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://texaswildlifescience.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/stockton-plateau.jpg</image:loc><image:title>Stockton Plateau</image:title></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://texaswildlifescience.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/postcard1.jpg</image:loc><image:title>Postcard1</image:title></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://texaswildlifescience.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/monahans_sandhills_2009.jpg</image:loc><image:title>Monahans_Sandhills_2009</image:title></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://texaswildlifescience.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/merriams_kangaroo_rat_chihuahuan_desert_new_mexico.jpg</image:loc><image:title>Merriam's_Kangaroo_Rat,_Chihuahuan_Desert,_New_Mexico</image:title></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://texaswildlifescience.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/long-nosed-bat.jpeg</image:loc><image:title>long-nosed bat</image:title></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://texaswildlifescience.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/leptonycteris_nivalis_86583784.jpg</image:loc><image:title>Leptonycteris_nivalis_86583784</image:title></image:image><lastmod>2025-08-27T15:05:03+00:00</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq></url><url><loc>https://texaswildlifescience.com/2023/06/28/chapter-13-texas-mammals/</loc><image:image><image:loc>https://texaswildlifescience.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/feral-pig-traits.jpg</image:loc><image:title>M2E65L136-136R430B313</image:title><image:caption>M2E65L136-136R430B313</image:caption></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://texaswildlifescience.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/img_0021.jpg</image:loc><image:title>IMG_0021</image:title></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://texaswildlifescience.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/z72_9424-edit.jpg</image:loc><image:title>Z72_9424-Edit</image:title></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://texaswildlifescience.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/tpwd-texas-tracks-page-1.jpg</image:loc><image:title>TPWD - Texas Tracks - page 1</image:title></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://texaswildlifescience.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/teeth_types_colored.png</image:loc><image:title>Teeth_types_colored</image:title></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://texaswildlifescience.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/table-13.1.png</image:loc><image:title>Table 13.1</image:title></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://texaswildlifescience.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/table-13.1-tnr.png</image:loc><image:title>Table 13.1 TNR</image:title></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://texaswildlifescience.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/stock-photo-armadillo-in-the-wild-in-a-field-2492547321.jpg</image:loc><image:title>stock-photo-armadillo-in-the-wild-in-a-field-2492547321</image:title></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://texaswildlifescience.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/ram-against-wall.jpg</image:loc><image:title>Desert Bighorn sheep.

The left side of the fence is a pasture that has been overgrazed while the right side has not been grazed at all. Overgrazing reduces the usefulness, productivity, and biodiversity of the land and can cause erosion. Overgrazing weakens and eventually kills forage plants, which then allows weeds to grow in their place.</image:caption></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://texaswildlifescience.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/img_2775.jpg</image:loc><image:title>IMG_2775</image:title></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://texaswildlifescience.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/img_1531.jpg</image:loc><image:title>Jeff Forman photo</image:title><image:caption>Jeff Forman photo</image:caption></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://texaswildlifescience.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/hatton-spring-prairie-front-yard-reconstruction-and-seasonal-jaime-gonzalez.jpg</image:loc><image:title>Hatton Spring Prairie - Front Yard - Reconstruction and Seasonal - Jaime González</image:title></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://texaswildlifescience.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/grazing_rotational.jpg</image:loc><image:title>Grazing,_rotational</image:title></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://texaswildlifescience.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/discing-m-m.png</image:loc><image:title>discing - M M</image:title></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://texaswildlifescience.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/bird-city_houston_9840.jpg</image:loc><image:title>Bird City_Houston_9840</image:title><image:caption>Tree Planting and restoration at Sylvan Rodriguez Park.
