The great cattle drive ended primarily due to the expansion of railroads and the establishment of barbed wire, which transformed cattle ranching and land use. Railroads provided a more efficient means of transporting cattle to markets, reducing the need for long drives. Additionally, the widespread use of barbed wire in the 1880s led to the Fencing of open ranges, restricting cattle movement and changing grazing practices. These developments marked a shift towards more settled agriculture and ranching, fundamentally altering the landscape and economy of the American West.
