Best Answer

Most would consider railroads as the decline of cattle drives, but more importantly barbed wire or "Devil's wire" and the advent of Fencing off property was the culprit. People thought they needed it to protect their cattle or for farmers to protect their crops against free-roaming cattle, but it destroyed the concept of open ranges and the ability to graze cattle freely across an un-fenced landscape.
