cattle trail

Herd's migration path

A cattle trail is a route used for driving livestock, especially cattle, over long distances from grazing lands to railheads or markets.

The term evokes the American West of the 1800s, when cowboys drove herds along routes like the Chisholm Trail: The cattle trail stretched north from Texas to Kansas.
