How long did the cattle drives in history last?

Cattle drives in American history primarily took place from the late 1860s to the early 1890s, lasting roughly 20 to 30 years. These drives were crucial for moving large herds of cattle from ranches in Texas to railheads in places like Kansas, where they could be shipped to markets in the East. The decline of cattle drives was influenced by factors such as the expansion of railroads, overgrazing, and changes in cattle ranching practices. By the late 1890s, cattle drives had largely diminished in significance.
