Description
In the late 1800s �Head� em Up. Move� em Out,� was the call made by the cattle boss, or foreman, to give the order echoed across the range to move cattle down the trail to some distant rail head far away. Such a venture was often arduous and wrought with danger and calamity for both livestock and trail hand encountering raging rivers and hostile Indians. The journey depending on length may have only taken a couple of weeks or it could have taken several months. These journeys created stories of a type where the legend of the Old West was created.
Cowboy stories and songs spun around the campfire lead to the creation of an entire culture. News Papers from the east spreading the stories and song created shows. Hollywood Movie studios began making �Westerns,� and Tom Mix Movies. To mentioned just a few Gene Autrey, Roy Rogers and Dale Evens, and Matt Dillon entertained T.V. audiences worldwide.
Today the call to �Head em Up and Move� em Out is more civilized. The cattle ranchers notify a freight company and the cattle are loaded from the ranch threw a loading shoot onto an eighteen wheeler and driven some distance to a ship yard for processing.
