There does not appear to be any real estimate of how many cattle were in Texas in 1834. However, there were 5,000 cattle exported from Texas in that year.
It is estimated to be around 1.3 billion cattle in the world.
The Texas cattle industry had its origins from the Spanish culture in raising cattle and ranching. However, some practices of cattle ranching may have come from African cultures since many of the men who were involved in ranching and acting as cattle hands in many ranches in and around Texas were of African-American origin or descent.

Many of the large cattle barons lived in the south, many in the state of Texas. The railroads did not go that far south for many years so the cattle had to be driven north the 'old fashion way', by horse and rider. Once at their destination the cattle were sold and loaded into rail cars to be taken to other cities, usually in the east.
approximately 205,000 Texans live in Texas.
The herding of cattle from Texas to railroad centers to the north was called a cattle drive. Cattle drives took many months to complete. Some of the cowboys would drive the cattle to Kansas and not want to go back to the ranch after being paid. Then ranchers would have to hire more hands the next cattle drive season.
Texas longhorns were created in the 1800s when Spanish cattle and Anglo cattle were mixed to create a strong, long-horned cow that the Texans called by its horn, the Texas longhorn. Cattle is how many Texans got rich, for the demand for beef was high after the Civil War. Cattle were extremely cheap in Texas and expensive everywhere else, a perfect deal for Texans who wanted to sell for more but buy for less. Hope this helps! :)
