The new rail lines enabled the western cattle ranchers to get their beef to market in better condition (to gain a better price), sooner.
Kansas had railroads
Railroads enabled easier and closer access to points to sell cattle. Cowboys didn't have to travel as far to sell their cattle, so cattle that didn't have to travel as far had meat that wasn't as tough and stringy, and cowboys had more time on their hands to be able to help with ranch chores, and weaned calves could stay on the ranches for a little longer because of the shorter distance.
The men that move cattle from place to place are called ranchers or cowboys. They live on ranches.
The cattle frontier refers to the period in the late 19th century when cattle ranching became a dominant economic activity in the American West. This era was characterized by the extensive grazing of cattle on open ranges, driven by the demand for beef in eastern markets and the expansion of railroads. Cowboys played a crucial role in herding cattle and managing ranches, contributing to the romanticized image of the American West. However, this frontier eventually declined due to overgrazing, changing market conditions, and the enclosure of land.
1) Barbed wire 2) Rail heads were closer to the ranches 3) Not enough grass to feed cattle
Americans thought cattle ranches on the Great Plains were impractical because they did not have transportation like railroads. Since they were expected to transport so much meat to large cities eastward, they had a long way to travel since there were no trains or railroads.

Cattle ranches in the western part of the US had workers that herded and bred cattle for their meat. Much of the cattle herds were driven by cowboys to St. Louis to be sold and slaughtered. The term "cowboy" comes from the work with cows on these ranches.
No.
It would be a good thing because there where many markets across the plains, as railroad swept, cattle ranchers had finially found a way to get to those markets.
Yes
Not really, railroads were built in all of the western states, not just Texas, so that yes, cattle could be shipped to the eastern markets.
There are more ranches found on Hawaii than Alaska.
