[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1818969, member: 16453"] In Australia we still have a network of stock routes and there are still droving contractors that will take large groups of cattle hundreds of km sometimes 1000km or more to a destination grazing the feed on the stock route as they go. It is also used as a drought strategy by some where they might put their cows on the road grazing the stock route for hundreds of km before coming back to the home place when conditions improve. It is a tough life as feed is not always plentifull on the route and even though there are strategic water points on the route some may be dry or not well maintained. An experienced drover usually has the skills to navigate these hurdles and often have their own water truck and may bring feed in. Ken [/QUOTE]
