If by trails you mean cattle drives, the purpose was to move large herds of cattle to the nearest railroad stop so the cattle could be shipped to other parts of the country, usually larger cities in the east.
The three great cattle trails include the western trail, the Chisholm trail and the goodnight loving trail.

because of the increased prices thwy had no food or anything so they might as well have had to move on the cattle trails :0
