How could western farmers use the railroad to make money?

Western Cattle Ranchers herded the cattle to the railroad stops, so they could take them to the northern and eastern states, because in the west the population of the cattle were great. So, a cattle was $4 each. But in the northern and eastern states, the supply was not grand, so a cattle was $40 each. Since there weren't many farms in the north and the east, there wasn't a grand supply of cotton, lilac (So they can die), cigar plants, rice, beans and much more. They had to trust the southern plantations to send the livestock up to the north, so they could use those supplies to stock up their buisnesses, and homes.
