What is a Cattle Roundup?
Its when ranchers or cowboys take there cattle to a train which they get on to and take them to the slaughter house. They might also get on trucks. You might call it a cattle run or a cattle drive.
How are most of the original grasslands in the US being used?
Most of the original grasslands are protected by state or federal lands, and are also rented by cattle ranchers to graze their cattle on there for a predetermined period of time to help in the health and growth of these native grasslands. A lot of native grasslands are also on private land, land which are owned by ranchers and used to raise their cattle on. Such ranchers take care of this land so that it supports life not only for their livestock, but also for the wildlife that live on their land.
Why Texas ranchers sent their longhorns on cattle drive?
The longhorns were the only cattle available in America to be used for beef and to send East for beef and for a bit of income.
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.
Why did the Johnson County War start?
The main reason the Johnson County Warhappened was conflict over land. Most of the land in Wyoming at that time was in the public domain, open to stock raising and to homesteading. Large numbers of cattle were turned loose on the open range by large ranches. Homesteaders moved in and settled on the land that the large ranches had been using as open range.The large ranchers claimed that they were victims of massive cattle stealing in Johnson County and that the local authorities were doing nothing to protect their herds. They also claimed that juries in Buffalo, Wyoming refused to convict on cattle rustling charges no matter how strong the evidence.The small ranchers were excluded from the spring roundups and the large ranchers used many tactics to try to force the small ranchers off their land. The small ranchers rightly claimed that their cattle had as much right to grass on the public range as did the herd of the large ranchers.By 1891, the large ranchers, members of the Wyoming Stock Growers Association (WSGA) decided they going to take action against the small ranchers. They formed a squad of invaders out of employees of the WSGA and gave them a list of 70 names to either shoot or hang.
Uhm doe Argentina have water around it?
So that if the "animal" wonders off or someone tries to steal it then they will have their brand on the "animal" and be able to tell that it is theirs. Ranchers branded their animals to mark them as their own. They would use a branding iron to sear a mark into the hide of the animal. The mark would indicate to which ranch the animal belonged. This practice was common in the days of the "Old West" since many ranchers shared the range. There were no fences in those days. When it came time to take the cattle to market, the ranchers would round up the cattle and sort them by brand, only taking their own. Today, animals are typically tatooed on the inside of their bottom lip. I am not sure if the branding iron is still in use. Bottom line, it is a mark of ownership.
Would humans take a trip to the desert?
Yes, humans frequently take trips into the desert, Some do so to enjoy the scenery, some for the climate.
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.

How long would it take for a cattle carcass to resurface if it drowned?
Humans will normally resurface approximately 2-3 days after drowning. This is because of the gas forming bacteria in their bowels. I would assume cattle would be about the same.
