Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A common plotline for a Western is the cattle drive. Ranches raise cattle, but then they need to get them to market. Usually the target is a town along the railroad, but occasionally the destination is somewhere else. A Western based on a cattle drive is more likely to star plain old Working cowboys as the stars, rather than using them as scenery. In real life, these were among the great risks to a ranch. They need to transport the cattle to make money, but if something goes wrong they could lose everything. Dangers include a stampede, rustlers, snakes, storms, flash floods, drought, etc. These days it's done to impress tourists; real ranchers use trucks. Also known as Droving, though less so in the United States than elsewhere. Often a form of MacGuffin Escort Mission. |

Bonanza: Several episodes prominently had to do with cattle drives. A few others had it as a background plot to explain a regular character not appearing in an episode ("Ben's away on a cattle drive," for instance) or to set up the main plot, with the actual story focusing on one of the other Cartwrights and (usually) being something completely different. | |

The protagonists are part of one of these in The Tower of Zhaal (part of the Cthulhu Armageddon series) before it is interrupted by the attack of an evil cult. Notably, the protagonists never find out what happened to the cattle involved. | |

Stan Smith of American Dad! dragooned his son and son's friends into a cattle drive through city streets in an effort to make them "more manly." Hilarity Ensues, especially as Stan is more delusional than usual during the event (from eating some of the diseased cow meat while Steve and his friends declined). | |
