Cattle Drive--- A journey in which cowboys herded cattle north to the railroad depots in the 1800's
A cowboy is an animal herder who tends cattle on cattle drives.
On cattle drives the cowboys usually did not have a wagon but rode their horses.
It was known as the cattle drives.
Cattle Drives were important because the East wanted beef and the cowboys want money the cattle drived could take weeks to get to the Railroad station.
To get cattle from the southeast to other regions
because they graze cows on farms and they also enter rodeos
Those were jobs that were available. There was lots of demand back east in restaurants for beef, the cattle were raised out west far from the few western railroads, so it was necessary to hire cowboys to drive the cattle all the way from the range to the railroad. Within about 10 years the railroads expanded and went directly to where the cattle were raised and the age of cowboys and long cattle drives came to an end. The cowboys lost their jobs.
Chuck Wagon- was used for carrying cooking utensils and food for serving the cowboys on cattle drives.
Generally speaking, cowboys perform duties related to maintaining and servicing matters related to livestock on a ranch. This can be from taking care of horses to feeding cattle. In the past, cowboys worked as horsemen on cattle drives that brought these animals to special trains heading to slaughter, or by simply "driving" them there as herders.
