∙ 11y agoOpen range ranching started because cowboys found out the Texas long horn cattle where strong enough to survive on the Great Plains. They didn't own the land so this was a cheap place to keep the cattle and it was closer to a rail head so they could easily send the cattle to cities like Chicago where they would be worth more money.
hope this helps
