Why did cattle drives end in the 1800?

Cattle drives haven't ended, they still happen around the world, a lot more frequently than you think, actually. But back in the late 1800's in the USA and Canada the implementation of barbed wire fences, increasing population of settlers taking over land that could be or would otherwise be used to graze and raise cattle on, the railroad, the invention of the car (which turned into manufacturing large trucks to transport livestock in) and the Great Winter of 1885-86 where thousands of cattle died of starvation all came together to bring the great, one-hundred-mile-plus cattle drives from the home range to the stockyards to an end. It was no longer needed, wasn't feasible, and easier and easier methods were created to transport, rather than herd, cattle from one place to another.


Why did many of the cattle drives end in Kansas?

Many cattle drives ended in Kansas due to its strategic location along the railroads, particularly the Kansas Pacific Railway, which facilitated the transportation of cattle to markets in the East. Additionally, Kansas offered open grazing lands and was part of the cattle trails like the Chisholm Trail, making it an ideal destination for herders. The demand for beef during the post-Civil War era further incentivized drives to this region, as it became a key hub for cattle shipping.
