First cattle were brought into the Americas in the late 1400's by the Spanish. In the 1600's, European settlers brought more cattle to the New World. But in all honesty, ranchers have been raising cattle since the late 1400's, which is around 500 years. So, ranchers have been raising cattle in the USA for around 500 years.

How did cattle ranchers and farmers adapt to life in the west?
They adapted to theWest by learning how to farm in the worst conditions. Also they learned how to travel with their cattle shorter distances because if they traveled a long way the cattle will become skinny and not be worth as much. As they traveled shorter distances the cattle stayed fat and were worth a lot of money.
How did the growth of the railroad help the cattle industry?
Refrigerated railroad cars could take the processed meat to the East. Actually the railroads enabled ranchers to drive their cattle shorter distances to the trains that came to their most local cow-town. The railroads allowed cattle to be transported long distances, quickly and efficiently to distant markets. This meant that herding of cattle on foot over long distances, using much man power, would eventually be consigned to the western cowboy movies.
How has mad cow disease changed the lives of farmers?
Once the epidemic was over in England, BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy, the scientific name for mad cow disease) hasn't had much effect on the daily lives of farmers or cattle ranchers. They can no longer feed protein rendered out from cattle carcasses back to their cattle, but they have long since found alternate protein supplements and are going along with business as usual.
Why did ranchers decide to drive their cattle from Texas to towns along the railroad?
Cowboys take cattle to the rail road station (actually the proper term is "stockyards") to be shipped to the facilities that slaughter them for our food. That's what happened in the past, over 100 years ago. In today's world, trains are not used to ship cattle to slaughter plants. Ninety-nine percent of all cattle are shipped by cattle liners or trailers from a handling facility on a ranch all the way to the slaughter plant. Cattle can still be gathered off of the range, pasture or from the corrals to be loaded on to the trucks just like with loading cattle on the stock cars, but these trucks come to the ranch or farm to pick them up. Cowboys and ranchers don't drive them to another distant facility off their land, not especially with all the highways and suburban areas and other farms they have to travel through.
Who did cattle ranchers and cowboys learn about cattle from?
I think a lot of it was on the job training. We have lived with and raised cattle for centuries. The novel approach was using a horse to herd and manage the cattle. This was necessary due to the lack of fences and long distances to cover. The Mexicans/Spanish contributed a lot of riding and roping skills to cowboys. The modern American Cowboy really started to develop after the Civil War. As young men returned home they needed a way to make money. Lots of cattle had been let go or escaped from farms during the war. These men had to develop skills to round the cattle up and brand them so they could sell them. Texas is really the birth place of the American Cowboy because of this.
When was the cowbell made?
Cowbells have been around for a long time. Farmers used them to keep track of their cattle for centuries.
