Ranchers wanted to use the land to graze their cattle on and make money off of their cattle, whereas the farmers wanted to use that same land to grow their crops. Farmers didn't like (and they still don't) cattle free-ranging across their fields, and a bit of friction was caused between ranchers with their free-ranging cattle and the farmers who just wanted to plant a few plots of wheat for their families.

How did the westward expansion of the railroad change ranching in Texas?

The westward expansion of the railroad in Texas significantly transformed ranching by facilitating faster transportation of cattle to markets, particularly in the East. This connectivity allowed ranchers to access broader markets, leading to increased demand and higher cattle prices. Additionally, it enabled the establishment of cattle drives, as ranchers could more efficiently move large herds to railheads for shipping. Consequently, ranching became more commercially viable and contributed to the growth of the cattle industry in Texas.
