The took them to a stockyard like Kansas City where they put them in cattle cars.
The Romans ruled thousands of cities. The Roman Empire was the 15th largest empire in history. At its greatest extent it had an area of 6,500,000 km² (2,509,664 sq. mi). It covered western Europe from the south up to the mouth of the river Rhine and central Germany, the Balkan Peninsula (south-eastern Europe) the Middle East west to Iran and north of Saudi Arabia, and North Africa.
for health reasons and there was more oil in the cities
what was the reason one of the reasons that many cities developed
what factors led to the development of western cities
The growth of cities meant there was less land to raise cattle and less grass for cattle to feed on. The railroads helped the cattle industry by allowing ranchers to be able to deliver cattle to areas where they could not be transported on foot.
Many smaller towns prospered because of the cattle boom, because it brought the cattle herders and cowboys to town. When the cattle drive was finished, the cowboys were anxious to spend their money.
Barbed wire was a way to stop other ranchers' livestock from getting mixed up with another rancher's livestock. It also was a way to stop squatters from making a homestead on land that wasn't theirs. There were a few free-range cattle drovers back then that didn't own land but grazed their cattle wherever necessary. Barbed wire prevented that as well, and created a kind of necessary ownership of the land.
A lot of cattle ranches were in vast open spaces away from big cities like New York. There was a limited transport network so the easiest way to get livestock from A to B was to walk them. They were taken to railheads in places like Kansas for shipments to stockyards in Chicago and farther east. This also insured fresh beef or pork where it was required, i.e the cities.
The railroads helped to create cattle kingdoms in the southwest because cattle could be shipped all over the country. Raising cattle in the southwest provided the ranchers with lots of land and grass to feed the cattle.
Since Western lands were open and grassy, cattle ranchingbecame an economic boom. Special livestock railroad cars could haul cattle to Eastern cities from meatpacking hubs such as Chicago. The cattle had to travel from Texas. Before railroad tracks ran from Texas, cowboys would drive herds from Texas to cities such as Kansas City, where herds could be loaded in livestock cars for travel. An entrepreneur could purchase cattle for $10 a head and sell them for $40 a head. They could pay a cowboy between $80 and $90 to drive the cattle herd to the railroad. Cattle drives could take cowboys two to three months.
Access to markets. Cattle are grown in open rangeland, but there's nobody there who will pay a high price for them. Buyers are in big cities like New York or Chicago. The fundamental rule of markets is to buy things where they are cheap, and then take them to places where they are expensive and sell them there. The development of the railroads gave people the ability to do just that.
There were millions of buffaloes in the west. the Transcontinental railroad was just created. In the eastern cities people needed food. cowboys, also known as cowhands and vaqueros would move them from as low as Texas to the railroad to ship them to the eastern cities.
Because there was no other way or method to get their cattle to market. Trucks never existed back then, railroads were too slow to be built on time to get their cattle from their ranch all the way to the market, and the cattle trails provided an easy way to find their way from the ranch to the market place.
