Hello friends..
Today I would like to share something
about the article that I have read recently titled " Drovers Road "
=D Actually this article was about the problem faced by the drovers to
drove for the cattle. BUT....what are the problems faced by the drovers??
So, let's find out what are the
problems faced by the drovers along the road.
*******************************************
The
drovers had to overcome the problem of the long distances to provide enough
food for the cattle. He had to rely on the food that could be found along the
road. He also showed great skill in manoeuvring these herds and had to ride
ahead on horseback to check the wandering instinct of the cattle, redirecting
them along the right track. Besides, he had to be particularly careful to avoid
the cattle from stray into private land to feed and look-out for farms and blow
a horn to warn the farmer of his approach. They also need to control a large
herd and avoid them from getting mixed up with the travelling herd. In
addition, the drover needs to cope with bands of robbers from attacking him. He
also had to have an intimate knowledge of the temperament of his animals in
order to judge how far and how fast to drive them. Plus, they must make sure
they are in good condition to get the best price in market.
