Why did cattle ranching become profitable in the west?
Cattle ranching became profitable because ranchers bought land cheap and when they did they bought a lot of it. They could have thousands of head of cattle and could ship them East by the railroad. People in the East needed and wanted good quality fresh beef and would pay good money for it. Ranchers could have several thousand head of cattle because they had enough land to keep them and they could hire men easily and pay them only a small fraction of the profits from selling the cattle,which left most of the money to the rancher.
How did ranching and cattle trails help western economic development?
