Why did cattle ranching become profitable in the west?

Cattle ranching became profitable because ranchers bought land cheap and when they did they bought a lot of it. They could have thousands of head of cattle and could ship them East by the railroad. People in the East needed and wanted good quality fresh beef and would pay good money for it. Ranchers could have several thousand head of cattle because they had enough land to keep them and they could hire men easily and pay them only a small fraction of the profits from selling the cattle,which left most of the money to the rancher.


After the civil war why did cattle ranchers become a good job?

After the Civil War, cattle ranching emerged as a lucrative job due to the growing demand for beef in the Eastern United States, fueled by population growth and urbanization. The availability of vast, open lands in the West and the establishment of cattle drives allowed ranchers to raise and transport cattle efficiently. Additionally, advancements in railroads made it easier to ship cattle to markets, enhancing the profitability of ranching. As a result, many sought opportunities in this booming industry, contributing to the iconic image of the American cowboy.
