Summary of Drove Roads

Hi. We've learnt a story about Drove Roads last few weeks and we have been asked by our Madam to make a summary on the story. Here's mine. :)



"The drovers had to overcome the problem of the long journey by driving the cattle hundred of kilometres in much organisation. He had to make sure there is enough food for the cattle along the journey. As a matter of fact, he had to be skilful in handling the cattle so that they won’t go to the others’ properties. It would be a trouble if the cattle mixed up with the farmer’s as it would take hours to sort them out. Besides, cattle are easily frightened and sometimes, they might be a stampede when they are panic. Thus, the drover should understand the animals well in order to know how fast and far they could go.  Therefore, he had to make sure that they got enough rest so that when they arrived at the market, the cattle were still in a good condition and get the best price."
