Post Description

Set in the 1860s, Rawhide portrays the challenges faced by the men of a cattle drive. There are 20-25 riders looking after 3,000 head of cattle. Gil (short for Gilbert Favor, ep 181) revealed this is about the maximum manageable size for a herd of cows. The cattle drive begins in San Antonio, Texas, and makes its way along the Sedalia Trail (Sedalia, the final destination, is in Missouri about 50 miles east from Kansas City). The herd is estimated to be worth about $50–60,000 if sold at market and represents a pool of cattle from approximately 200 owners. The Trail Boss carries a considerable sum of cash for all necessities and all possible emergencies. Pay was a dollar a day and "all you can eat" for the drovers. Riding "drag" was often a punishment since it was behind the herd, so you"d pick up all their dust. Drives had a "Remuda", a pool of extra horses. If something happened to a man"s horse, he would be no good without an instant replacement.
