Ranchers transported their cattle to market primarily through cattle drives, where they would move large herds on horseback along established trails to railheads or stockyards. This method was essential before the advent of modern transportation, as it allowed ranchers to cover vast distances. Alternatively, once railroads expanded into cattle regions, ranchers could load their cattle onto trains for quicker transport to markets in urban areas. Additionally, trucks became a more common means of transport in the 20th century, further streamlining the process.
