Many of the large cattle barons lived in the south, many in the state of Texas. The railroads did not go that far south for many years so the cattle had to be driven north the 'old fashion way', by horse and rider. Once at their destination the cattle were sold and loaded into rail cars to be taken to other cities, usually in the east.
