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.

Ranchers suffered greatly in the huge losses of their cattle herds, and the cattle suffered from lack of feed.
