For history buffs, do you remember what the first animal drives were?

Hmmm- don't really know, but I'd guess horses...at least in this country...and sheep

Now way back in time? I'd have to say sheep

My reminiscence of the info is fantastically fuzzy. probably because of the fact there have been so few info. with reference to the only element I bear in mind is that it replace right into a tactic to distract us from a screw up in the Reagan administration. The concern as laid out through Woozy Poon Tan is closest to the story as I keep in mind it. This tactic replace into utilized through G.H W. Bush while one in each of his many ne'er do nicely sons introduced down the finished fee reductions and loan marketplace single exceeded. G.H.W invaded his former Allie Iraq. It replace into sufficient of a smoke reveal screen that no person even knew who Neil Bush replace into after a pair of weeks. Now you know why Bush did no longer pass forward and finished the invasion. His purpose were met. We forgot approximately Silverado and Neil Bush.

When the Brits developed the concept of improving their wool by selective breeding of sheep there were some large sheep-drives on the continent to get the desired types to the ports for export to Britain.

But on the American continent the Native Americans evidently drove large herds of a now extinct bison species over cliffs fairly regularly and by the thousands.

I suspect you are looking at this from a typically arrogant human view! Lemmings have been driving to the sea long before man kind ever thought of domesticating an animal to drive anywhere...but I will have to admit that driving a horse is much more cheap today than driving my car! My car is driving me crazy at the pumps. Perhaps my wandering mind today is a strong indication of just how crazy I am getting! ... I will think about that tomorrow.

I would think that it would be Buffalo in the America's. I think the turtles came later Wally. That reminds me of the great turtle drive stories grandpa would have told...lol

There were the oxen pulled wagon drives that brought many Mormons to Utah.

Biblically speaking, Job was the documented large herdsman. I'm sure someone had to drive them to different fields or whatever...does that qualify?

Likely mastodon or wooly mammoth. Then later, Buffalo. Not as much fun as the good old Snipe hunt though.

I must be young, the first drive I remember was--four wheel drive. And it still involves rough terrain, crossing water, and climbing mountains!
