The cattlemen are led by a ' Favor 'trail boss, Gil. Favor is not only the boss, but also the banker of the cattlemen, he manages the money needed to bring the cattle on his destination. His second husband is the irascible, young Rowdy Yates. Both men have in the American civil war on the side of the Confederates fought and have combat experience.

That last is not a luxury, because the trip, called Sedalia Trail is full of dangers. There are cattle thieves, Indians, inclement weather and drought. Regularly saves the herd stampedes and there is the danger that the floats are trampled by their own animals. To locate the dangers in good time is invaluable Scout Pete Nolan. He rides for the herd and explores the route, facing potential hazards. To the floats in good condition is Cook Wishbone another pillar where Gil Favor on can support it. The highly flammable Wishbone and his cooks buddy Mushy are regularly the kop van Jut as the floats get no or bad to eat.

The series, by the way, rarely leave the arrival in Sedalia see. Usually, the herd on the road and are the floats followed on their trip. Life was hard and the floats got about a dollar a day for their work. Most tours names soon 4 to 6 months so received the cowboys a goodly amount after the Trek. The most money went on to drink, women and gambling.

In most episodes of Rawhide are the beaters facing passers-by who cause problems. But these problems are dwarfed by things like droughts, bad weather (often responsible for the ' save ', the out-of-controlstampedesof the herd), wild animals like mountain lions and wolves and cattle thieves. In order to be able to withstand the last group are all floats armed with a gun and a rifle. ==Production[ Edit] == The series was recorded in California in the outdoor area of the studio. Although it looks like there on the tv screen thousands of cows were inflated, were in reality but a hundred or so. The other scenes that show the cattlemen in their camp where they get ready for the night are recorded in the studio.

The title "Rawhide" is derived from a kind of leather known as rawhide. It is a kind of leather that are lighter in color than the normal types of leather and comes from the skin of bison, deer and elk. Usually, the meat scraped from the skin and the skin stretched on a frame, after which it can dry. The result is a hard light kind of leather used to make whips or skins for drums.
