Cattle KingdomCattle KingdomThe cattle business has been an important part of Texas’
economy. At a time when Texas was mostly rural, cattle drives moved branded herds to be sold. When cows are lost, wranglers went on round-ups to prevent the rustlers from stealing the cows. The cowboys ate from chuck wagons along the way. A famous cattle man was Charles Goodnight. As a result of the cattle drives, towns called cow towns started along the trail. Once the herd arrived, they were sold and put into stockyards. The price depended on supply and demand. Then they went to the packing plants.
The end of the cattle kingdom was caused by the invention of barbed wire. The barbed wire closed the pathways used in cattle drives. In the new fenced in areas, ranchers depended on windmills to pump up water for the cattle. Since the cattle kingdom time, Texas’ growth has led to urbanization.
