Expansion and the railroad system lead to the boom in the cattle industry. Drought, diseases, a decline in demand, and a harsh winter that killed thousands of heads of cattle all contributed to the bust.
I think a lot of it was on the job training. We have lived with and raised cattle for centuries. The novel approach was using a horse to herd and manage the cattle. This was necessary due to the lack of fences and long distances to cover. The Mexicans/Spanish contributed a lot of riding and roping skills to cowboys. The modern American Cowboy really started to develop after the Civil War. As young men returned home they needed a way to make money. Lots of cattle had been let go or escaped from farms during the war. These men had to develop skills to round the cattle up and brand them so they could sell them. Texas is really the birth place of the American Cowboy because of this.
