It was a point to sell cattle
They put up fences. Cattle used to roam freely on the Great Plains. Later, farmers put up barbed wire fences in order to share the land and divide it. The fences ended the cattle drives that were an essential part of the Cattle Kingdom.
Severe overgrazing played a big role in the ending of The Cattle Kingdom. This was because they put nails in the coffins, used barbed wire and expansion of the railroad.
It was all due to the savage and wicked winter of 1885-86 that killed thousands upon thousands of cattle due to overgrazed rangeland and no winter feed. Barbed wire fences where only a minor problem compared to the wicked force of Mother Nature and Old Man Winter. The decline of the cattle kingdom was brought upon by many things. With manifest destiny bringing people into the west, cattle were merely outnumbered and there were just less to be moved. Also, cattle were being mass produced enough to meet the demand of the people, so jobs were temporarily slowed.
Many would brand their cattle with branding-irons which would identify the cattle by brand .
Cowhands led cattle drives in the 1860's to move cattle from the southwest to the nearest rail station where the cattle could be carried north. Cattle were worth about 3 times in the north what they were in the south.
The cattle kingdom is located in Rio De Janero, Brazil.
The biggest factors in the development of the cattle kingdom were the huge number cattle and the enormous expansion of grasslands available to feed the cattle.
The cattle kingdom was significant because it helped the US expand in to the western territories. More people headed to the western part of the US to raise cattle.
The first settlers involved in setting up the cattle kingdom were the Spanish. They brought with them cattle and knowledge people in the United States were unfamiliar with.
The growth of the cattle kingdom negatively affected the Plains Indians. Cattle allowed human populations to soar which pushed the Indians out of their homeland.
Texas Longhorns were the foundation of the Cattle Kingdom in the USA. Herefords soon followed popularity when they were imported to the USA a couple hundred years after the Spanish brought over their cattle.
How many rules were in the Cattle Kingdom would depend largely on the size of the kingdom. Larger kingdoms would require more rulers to oversee the members.
Chisolm Trail is one.
The area from Kansas to Montana was referred to as the cattle kingdom because this was an area where the cattle outnumbered humans. Kansas and Montana were, and still are, high beef production states.
