The
drovers had to overcome the problem of the long journey such as a sufficient
food for the cattle. He had to rely on the food they found along the way.
Besides, he need to redirecting the cattle along the right tracks and make sure
they did not feed on the private land. He had to be on look-out for the farm he
will pass and warn the farmer earlier. Sometimes, they also have a problem when
farmer’s cattle mixed with his cattle. In addition, cattle are easily
frightened by sudden loud noises which make this dangerous for the drovers. He
also has to cope with bands of robbers who might attack him for his money or
drive some of his cattle. To overcome this, he had to have an intimate
knowledge of the temperament of his animals in order to judge how far and how
fast to drive them. They must not be overdriven and need rest sufficiently.
