Primarily, the hide, meat and tallow were the only things that were used from the butchered carcasses. Now nothing is wasted; and I mean nothing. Every part of the beef animal was found a use for, whether it was for pharmaceutical purposes, for dog food, or found to make every day products better (like for paint, insulation, upholstery, etc.) than they were before.Thus increase in demand for the parts of animals, coupled with a rapidly increase population, drove the demand for more cattle skyward, which in turn helped the cattle industry prosper.The railroads.
