Cattlemen were generally more successful on the plains due to the high demand for beef and their ability to establish profitable cattle ranching operations. The vast open spaces allowed for cattle drives and grazing, which contributed to their economic success. In contrast, homesteaders faced challenges such as harsh weather, limited resources, and difficulties in farming, which often hindered their success. While some homesteaders thrived, the cattle industry ultimately proved to be more lucrative and influential in shaping the plains economy.

The invention of barbed wire in the 1870s significantly helped farmers protect their lands and prevent cattlemen from allowing their herds to graze on crops. By creating a physical barrier, barbed wire effectively delineated property boundaries, reducing conflicts between farmers and cattlemen. This innovation facilitated more organized agriculture and land management, ultimately transforming the dynamics of ranching and farming in the American West.
