Describe the crime associated with the cattle drives.

The crime associated with the cattle drives is known as "cattle rustling" or "raiding".

Explanation:

Back in the years when the cattle industry took off, there was a common crime associated with the stealing of cattle. "Rustlers", the people (usually cowboys) that stole these cattle from ranchers to sell them and make a profit for themselves, represented a major problem. This was a serious offence and often resulted in killing or hanging these thieves. The change from an open graze method to barbed fencing eventually reduced the amount of rustling but nowadays it still represents a big problem since people make false documents or auction receipts to steal the cattle.
