How did the cattle industry of the 1800s build on it's Spanish beginnings
In the late 1800s the Chisolm trail was used to drive cattle by cowboys. The cowboys originated in Texas and drove the cattle to Kansas to be sold.
One yearling steer would have cost as much as $10 or more back in the 1800s. Today, due to inflation of the economy, a yearling steer costs around $1,800.00 or more, depending on breeding and weight.
This phrase appears to have been coined in the late 1800s to describe trail drives bringing cattle to the railroads. They had to cross the rivers even if they were flooding and the summer sun made the open prairies unbearably hot. The trail from Texas to Kansas went through hell AND high water.

Creating monopolies and trying to control the industry were business practices employed by the totals of industry in the late 1800s.
Americans didn't think that cattle ranches were practical on the great plains because the cattle had a hard time surviving. The great plains were dry and there was not a lot of grazing land in the 1800s.
Hard. Very Hard. Unbelievably HARD.
