Many farmers in Arkansas raise cattle, but I wouldn't say that "Arkansas" either is 'a' cattle farm or 'cattle farm(s)'. :)
A hobby farm is a small farm that is not a primary source of income. The number of cattle is not really part of the definition.
There does not appear to be any real estimate of how many cattle were in Texas in 1834. However, there were 5,000 cattle exported from Texas in that year.
The Texas cattle industry had its origins from the Spanish culture in raising cattle and ranching. However, some practices of cattle ranching may have come from African cultures since many of the men who were involved in ranching and acting as cattle hands in many ranches in and around Texas were of African-American origin or descent.
Many, Many, Many cattle ranches. The state is known for its farming skills.

Many of the large cattle barons lived in the southern state of Texas. The rail lines were north of Texas and Oklahoma.
Cattle trails tended to begin in south Texas because this region provided ample grazing lands and mild climate for cattle to thrive. Additionally, cattle could be easily transported by ship to south Texas from Mexico, where many of the cattle originated. The expansive open terrain in south Texas also allowed for the efficient movement of large herds of cattle towards the Northern markets.
Many of the large cattle barons lived in the south, many in the state of Texas. The railroads did not go that far south for many years so the cattle had to be driven north the 'old fashion way', by horse and rider. Once at their destination the cattle were sold and loaded into rail cars to be taken to other cities, usually in the east.
