Groups representing the historic American cattle drives have pledged to work together to promote the valuable role of the cattle drives in the history of the Old West.
On Nov. 1, in Dodge City, Kansas, representatives of the Chisholm Trail, Western Cattle Trail Association, Great Western Cattle Trail, Goodnight-Loving Trail and the Shawnee Trail signed a joint letter of support for a new Cattle Trails Consortium that would promote the shared history of the Texas cattle drives.
As of January 2025, the Cattle Trails Consortium will sponsor a free monthly Zoom call on the second Friday of each month, highlighting museums, historical elements, attractions and communities along one of the historic trails. To sign up to receive notice of these Zoom calls, email [email protected] with “Cattle Trails Showcase” in the subject line.
