After the Civil War, cattle ranching became a lucrative job due to the increased demand for beef in the growing urban centers of the United States. The expansion of railroads made it easier to transport cattle to markets, while the availability of vast open lands in the West provided ample grazing opportunities. Additionally, the post-war economic recovery and the rise of a consumer culture further boosted meat consumption, making cattle ranching an attractive and profitable occupation for many.
The Spanish significantly influenced the cattle business by introducing cattle ranching techniques and breeds to the Americas, particularly in regions like Mexico and the southwestern United States. They brought cattle from Spain, such as the Iberian breeds, which adapted well to the new environment and became foundational to local ranching. The Spanish also established ranching practices, including the use of vaqueros (cowboys), which shaped the culture and techniques of cattle management in the New World. This legacy continues to impact ranching traditions and practices today.
