Chicago is mostly banking, finance and technology today but in the 1800s and first half of the 1900s they were the meat packers for the world. After the cattle drives to Kansas, the cattle were put in cattle cars and taken by rail to Chicago. Armor Meats is still there.
Cattle drives were for taking cattle to the stock pens for shipping by rail. Trucks replaced the rail stock yards and now they just go from large ranches to sale. Yet, there are small cattle drives that still do take place in some areas.
Yes it did. Barbed wire closed the open range. People were fencing off their land preventing cattle from getting by easily. Ranchers had to take long ways around the enclosed areas. And by 1887 and 1888 a harsh winter came in and cattle could not get around the fencing making them freeze to death in the middle of the night. It was a sad part of history, but people still use barbed wire today.
Yes. SSDs (Solid State Drives) are still much more expensive per gigabyte than magnetic hard drives, so they are still uncommon in desktops and mainstream laptops.
Assuming you mean branding of cattle. It is still done in the same fashion today, though less often, as well as tagging and tattooing of cattle, usually the ears are tagged or tattooed.
Yes, they did - although they were very unreliable! They wore out quickly, often broke and were damaged in rain! Today we have chain drives, but belt drives are still available for a cheap sum of money.
haha who asked this? kyle? patrick? who?
Hundreds and hundreds of years. It's still happening today, actually.
Corn and wheat as well as cattle and hogs. Today this is still true.
Cowboys take cattle to the rail road station (actually the proper term is "stockyards") to be shipped to the facilities that slaughter them for our food. That's what happened in the past, over 100 years ago. In today's world, trains are not used to ship cattle to slaughter plants. Ninety-nine percent of all cattle are shipped by cattle liners or trailers from a handling facility on a ranch all the way to the slaughter plant. Cattle can still be gathered off of the range, pasture or from the corrals to be loaded on to the trucks just like with loading cattle on the stock cars, but these trucks come to the ranch or farm to pick them up. Cowboys and ranchers don't drive them to another distant facility off their land, not especially with all the highways and suburban areas and other farms they have to travel through.
Challenge, candle, castle, pocket, fork, warranty, war,cauldron, causeway,Êgarden, and cattle are just a fewÊNorman words are still in use today in the English language.
