What contributes to the end of open-range cattle ranching in the mid 1880's?
The Great Winter of 1885-86 that killed thousands upon thousands of cattle due to overgrazing of rangelands and lack of winter feed.
What year during the winter did hundreds of thousands of cattle die on the open ranges from Canada to Texas?
During the harsh winter of 1886-1887, the land was stressed from overgrazing. Hundreds of thousands of cattle died ( "Great Die-Up").
What impact did the severe winters of 1865 and 1866 have on the cattle kingdom have?
It was actually the Great Winter of 1886-87 that affected the cattle kingdom. Thousands and thousands of cattle died during this Great Winter due to starvation. Many ranchers failed to put up winter feed for their cattle, and they also did not have adequate knowledge of stocking rates or carrying capacity for the grasslands that they had their cattle grazing on, so instead of having lots of pasture for winter, there was no pasture for winter because the grasslands had been overgrazed so bad. Ranchers suffered greatly in the huge losses of their cattle herds, and the cattle suffered from lack of feed.

Why did the great range cattle kingdom in the west come to an end in 1886?
It was all due to the savage and wicked winter of 1885-86 that killed thousands upon thousands of cattle due to overgrazed rangeland and no winter feed. Barbed wire fences where only a minor problem compared to the wicked force of Mother Nature and Old Man Winter. The decline of the cattle kingdom was brought upon by many things. With manifest destiny bringing people into the west, cattle were merely outnumbered and there were just less to be moved. Also, cattle were being mass produced enough to meet the demand of the people, so jobs were temporarily slowed.
What factors led to the boom and bust in the cattle industry?
Expansion and the railroad system lead to the boom in the cattle industry. Drought, diseases, a decline in demand, and a harsh winter that killed thousands of heads of cattle all contributed to the bust.
Was there a battle at Valley Forge?
No. Valley Forge was a famous winter military camp for Gen. Washington's Army during a harsh winter in the Revolutionary War. Though many did die, they were not killed by gunfire.
What do you plant for your cattle to eat in the winter?
Most cattle in the north are fed hay, silage and/or grain during the winter. However, for parts of the world where winter means no snow, most cattle are still out on green pasture. In some colder parts where snow is but a dusting, cattle are stockpile grazing old, dried growth of the previous year.
What caused the collapse of the cattle industry in 1880?
In 1886 to 1887, there was the worst winter in years with blizzards and really deep snow, and during that time ranchers had failed to put up enough hay for the winter, if any at all. Thousands of cattle starved or froze to death in the US, and thousands more that were herded up to Alberta to catch any feed from the Chinook winds also starved and froze to death when winter came howling back from when the Chinook no longer blew. Overgrazing of rangelands also had a huge impact on ranchers during this terrible winter too, as when you get overgrazing, you don't either have enough feed for the winter, or not enough feed to cut for hay to store for the winter.
