Transport to market

One individual cannot both take care of animals on a farm and take stock on a long journey to market. So the owner might entrust this stock to an agent--usually a drover--who will deliver the stock to market and bring back the proceeds. Drovers took their herds and flocks down traditional routes with organised sites for overnight shelter and fodder for men and for animals.

The journey might last from a few days to months.
