In the early 1800's many fresh products were mainly consumed in the areas where they were produced. This included fruit, vegetables and various types of seafood.

How did the growth of the railroad help the cattle industry?
Refrigerated railroad cars could take the processed meat to the East. Actually the railroads enabled ranchers to drive their cattle shorter distances to the trains that came to their most local cow-town.

This meant that herding of cattle on foot over long distances, using much man power, would eventually be consigned to the western cowboy movies.
