Cattle driving meant hard, hungry work. Cowboys would get up early in the morning and “lead” the herd to the stopping point the next night. A herd of about 3,000 cattle usually meant about a dozen cowboys. In addition, there was a route manager, a camp cook and a cowboy whose job was to keep track of the extra horses.
