What was the purpose of a cattle drive or long drive?
It was how the cattle was taken from the open ranges in cattle regions like Texas to the cow towns like Abilene where the drives would meet the railroads. From there the cattle would be loaded on rolling frieght and shipped to either the markets in the cities, or after the invention of the refrigerated rail car, shipped to meatpacking plants in Chicago or Green Bay, where they were butchered. with the advent of barbed wire and the opening of the Great Plains to farming cattle drives became less common. These factors combined with a glut (too many cows = falling prices) on the cattle market led to the end of the "open range cattle drives"
Why did ranchers decide to drive their cattle from Texas to towns along the railroad?
Cowboys take cattle to the rail road station (actually the proper term is "stockyards") to be shipped to the facilities that slaughter them for our food. That's what happened in the past, over 100 years ago. In today's world, trains are not used to ship cattle to slaughter plants. Ninety-nine percent of all cattle are shipped by cattle liners or trailers from a handling facility on a ranch all the way to the slaughter plant. Cattle can still be gathered off of the range, pasture or from the corrals to be loaded on to the trucks just like with loading cattle on the stock cars, but these trucks come to the ranch or farm to pick them up. Cowboys and ranchers don't drive them to another distant facility off their land, not especially with all the highways and suburban areas and other farms they have to travel through.
