How did the cattle trails and the long drives change the cattle industry?
I don't think it was the cattle trails themselves that changed the industry, it was more or less the building of the railroads, more pioneers taking over the land, and barbed wire that changed the cattle industry as a whole.
How did ranching and cattle trails help western economic development?
Cattle trails helped western economic development because they helped to move cattle easily and therefore trading was easier. Ranching helped because they could have the food to themselves in times of drought, and could easily sell to other ranchers who had poor crops. Hoped I helped to answer your question. -7th grader
Why did the cattle ranching end?
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.
Why were the cattle trails so important and what impact did they have on Texas?
Before the arrival of the railway and modern road transport, cattle had to be driven from where they were reared to distant markets to be sold. Cattle drives could take several weeks. Once the railway arrived, the cattle would be driven to the nearest railhead and loaded onto cattle wagons - a much safer and speedier affair. So though the cattle trails were important, the coming of the railroad was even more important.
