The Great Western Trail, also known as the Texas Cattle Trail or Western Trail, was a historic cattle trail used for driving cattle from ranches in Texas to railheads in Kansas. It started in southern Texas, typically around San Antonio or Bandera, and extended northward to destinations such as Dodge City, Kansas, or Ogallala, Nebraska. The trail covered a long distance, facilitating the movement of cattle to the railroads for transportation to markets in the eastern United States.
