Magdalena became a major cattle town, securing one of the largest stockyard shipping pens in the Southwest beginning in 1885. "The Magdalena Trail" was a cowboy's destination driving and herding cattle and sheep to the stockyards.

Today in Magdalena the wooden stockyards, worn by weather and time, still stand as a testament to the Old West Cattle Drives.
