Cowboys traditionally moved cattle to railheads, where the animals could be loaded onto trains for transport to markets in the East. They often drove the cattle along cattle trails, such as the Chisholm Trail, which connected grazing lands in Texas to railroads in Kansas. This movement was essential during the late 19th century, as it facilitated the booming cattle industry in America.
