On a cattle drive, cowboys often measured distance using a method called "counting the beats," where they would count the number of paces or hoofbeats made by the cattle and horses. Additionally, they sometimes relied on landmarks, such as hills or rivers, to estimate how far they had traveled. Cowboys also used time-based measurements, noting how long they had been riding or driving the cattle. In some cases, they referred to maps or guides that detailed the terrain and distances between key locations.

Well I am learning about this now ....... In there spear time the miners and the cowboys both played the banjos, made up songs,sang songs, and went to the saloon to drink and have fun with the prostitutes. just so you know cowboys eventually became miners in the wild west.
The Maasai do not accumulate money; they hold their cattle in such high regard that the cattle themselves are seen as a measure of a man's wealth. Any man who has at least 50 cattle would be seen as being wealthy.
Cowboys that care cared for horses and broncos were called wranglers. They called orphaned calves dogies. They rounded up the cattle and drove them to market every spring.
Because of the advent of the railroads. Cattle didn't need to be driven as far as they did because the train could take the livestock the rest of the distance in less time than the cowboys could.
Railroads enabled easier and closer access to points to sell cattle. Cowboys didn't have to travel as far to sell their cattle, so cattle that didn't have to travel as far had meat that wasn't as tough and stringy, and cowboys had more time on their hands to be able to help with ranch chores, and weaned calves could stay on the ranches for a little longer because of the shorter distance.
In the late 1800s the Chisolm trail was used to drive cattle by cowboys. The cowboys originated in Texas and drove the cattle to Kansas to be sold.
