The number of cowboys in a cattle drive typically ranged from 10 to 20, depending on the size of the herd and the length of the drive. Larger drives could employ even more cowboys, sometimes up to 30 or more, to manage thousands of cattle. Each cowboy had specific roles, including wranglers, cooks, and trail bosses, ensuring the drive was successful and efficient. The exact number could vary based on factors such as terrain and weather conditions.
