This was initially driven by the size of ranches in the American West. Once a ranch gets bigger than a single owner can manage by themselves business techniques such as delegation of responsibilities come into play - just as in any large enterprise.

The railroads played a big role as well. Large centralized slaughterhouses could distribute meat to a wide consumer group so raising beef was no longer just a local marketplace situation - favoring high-volume producers.
