Cowhands led cattle drives in the 1860's to move cattle from the southwest to the nearest rail station where the cattle could be carried north. Cattle were worth about 3 times in the north what they were in the south.
The big cattle drives in the United States primarily took place from the late 1860s to the early 1890s, lasting about 20 to 25 years. These drives were driven by the demand for beef following the Civil War and the expansion of railroads into cattle-rich areas. The era of the cattle drives effectively ended with the advent of barbed wire and changes in ranching practices.

The increase in population along cattle trails led to the development of settlements and ranches, causing conflicts between the cattle drives and local communities. As a result, laws were passed to regulate the movement of cattle and prevent further conflicts, ultimately leading to the decline of cattle drives.
