From Season 5 of Walt Disney's Disneyland Anthology program we have Episode 23: The Slaughter Trail, which originally aired March 20th, 1959. In Part 6 of 17 John proposes to Sam Underwood, another rancher, that they combine their herds and take them to Arizona where they will command higher prices. Underwood agrees but doubts they can use the usual route, the Chisholm Trail, due to drought conditions. John plans to use a new trail he's scouted, one with plenty of water, but it passes through Comanche territory.
