Description
The great Texas cattle drives started in the 1860’s because Texas had lots of longhorn cattle and the rest of the country wanted beef. The longhorn was ideal to travel the long distance from Texas to Kansas because unlike other cattle, the animal could forage on brush and survive for days without water. From about 1865 to the mid 1890's Texas cowboys herded about 5 million cattle to markets up north.
