Cattle ranching changed the west because it encouraged more people to settle the west and buy the land. It also brought in the railroad which was also used for transportation of people to the west instead of wagon trains. It was much easier travel by train and much faster. It also encouraged barbed wire Fencing that let people regulate their own land and settlers could claim and protect their property and livestock.
