Hollywood has given the public a somewhat 'idealized' view of life on a cattle drive. The reality was very different. Hard physical work, hour after hour on the back of a horse, in temperatures that ranged from sizzling heat to mind-numbing cold, rain, snow and wind that blows the endless dust from the hooves of cattle into the nose, eyes, ears and mouths of the cowboy.

Depending on where the drive started, the trip was usually several hundred miles and took 4 to 6 months to reach the railroad, one of the biggest cattle towns was Abeliene, KS. Sleeping on the hard ground, prey to biting insects and deadly snakes, unfriendly native Americans and cattle rustlers intent on relieving the cowboys of their livelihood or their life. Rivers had no bridges or ferries, you crossed on horseback, all worldly possessions completely soaked. They cowboy supplied his own horse, rope, and other tools necessary to the job. At trail's end, the cattle town held it's own dangers. After months on the job, the cowboy's pockets full from their pay, indulged in drinking, gambling and lewd women. Fights were commonplace, guns were drawn when tempers flared. Many of the cowboys spent their entire salaries within a few days, left scrambling for other work.

These men were independent, tough and couragous. And for some of them it was the only thing they wanted to do. It was a way of life that will never come again.

Feeder cattle are young cattle (steers and heifers) that are carrying more weight or condition than stocker cattle and are ready to be put on a "hot" ration (or high-energy ration like grain) for finishing prior to slaughter. Quite often these cattle have started out as stockers or backgrounders and have been raised and fed on a high-forage-based ration to the point where they've grown enough and put on enough weight (in both fat and muscle; this is known as "condition") to be considered as feeder cattle. Feeder cattle are often between the 10 to 18 months, depending on the length of backgrounding/stockering phase they went through.

It heralded an end to the open-range cattle industry, and created more friction between open-range ranchers and the sod busters, otherwise known as the farmers because the ranchers wanted the land that the farmers were turning over for crops for cattle grazing. Of course barbed wire wasn't the only thing that affected the cattle industry. Over-grazing, the near-extinction of the very cattle that were herded back east for their meat, the completion and expansion of the railroad and the ever-increasing population of farms, towns and cities in the West had an impact on the cattle industry.

Aunt Kitty's Cattle Drive Baked Beans were first made during a Cattle Drive that was organized by Aunt Kitty in the late 20th century. She created them as a means of feeding the masses when the Kettle Korn King of South Carolina failed to show at the Atlanta State Fair. There were, unfortunately, too few hogs to slaughter, which served as the original plan (Hog Dogs) to supplement the Kettle Korn King's corn. Aunt Kitty, under immense pressure, traveled into the Forbidden Forest to dig up Legume Root, which was the secret ingredient in her baked beans. Kitty dug a hole in the ground, put in all the special ingredients, covered them with molten lava, and then buried it for six weeks. When she returned at the end of the six weeks, with a chisel, hammer, and hairdryer, she painstakingly excavated the baked beans. Having enough to feed the famished frontiersman, she returned to the State Fair/Cattle Drive. Much to her chagrin, the frontiersman were undeniably dead. They had starved without her baked beans. Even more unfortunate, she had a surfeit of baked beans. The surplus was then canned in The Great Canning of 1999. You can pick up your can of Aunt Kitty's Cattle Drive Baked Beans at your local Piggy Wiggly for $5.99. The upcharge is due to the molten lava and excavation costs she incurred a mere three decades ago.

It made it 100 times easier to transport meat and other cattle products to areas of america that they wouldn't of been able to earlier. Because they didn't have to walk the cattle across the plains it made cattle available year round and delivered a better quality of meat.

Yes it did. Barbed wire closed the open range. People were fencing off their land preventing cattle from getting by easily. Ranchers had to take long ways around the enclosed areas. And by 1887 and 1888 a harsh winter came in and cattle could not get around the fencing making them freeze to death in the middle of the night. It was a sad part of history, but people still use barbed wire today.

They really have no purpose . But mostly they are created by the jet exhaust freezing and creating ice crystals as the airliner flies in the stratosphere where temperatures are well blow freezing.

Another similar point of view. Jet trails, or condensate trails, have no more purpose than the little cloud formed when you "see your breath" on a cold day. The same principles are involved.

It means the last part of the herd that is being herded. Often the drag has animals that may go off on their own away from the herd, and one or two horsemen have to herd these rogue animals back to the herd. The drag portion of the cattle drive is considered a more advanced position to be in, not a place where greenhorns or tenderfeet should ride nor help out with the drive.
