Cattle were butchered for meat for the soldiers, creating massive shortages in the Eastern part of the USA. A shortage creates a great demand, and in order to meet that demand, there needs to be a source of supply. Thus, this high demand allowed future ranchers and cowboys to travel west and herd cattle back east to quench this demand for beef.
