The building and expansion of the railway lines. Also, more and more people were coming west to California, Nevada, and New Mexico in search of gold and a new life after the Civil War that ended in 1865. In order to get more people west, the railways had to be expanded westward and southward so that people from the East could come west, and beef cattle shipped back east to feed a growing population.
Naturally, with more people coming in, demand for beef skyrocketed and so did cattle prices. With higher cattle prices, more people could start ranching to raise as many cattle as they dared to (and twice as much as the land could support) in order to make a buck or two. In those days, lots of cattle = lots of money.
