Ranching

Ranching is an extensive way of raising livestock, primarily grazing cattle, sheep and horses, but also involves production of many other animals. The term ranch is used loosely as it is primarily up to the owner's discretion whether his/her locale is a farm or ranch, but it is commonly known as a very large tract of land that is often used in its native state. The historical and current practices of ranching and rangeland management among other things pertaining to ranching can be discussed in this category.

Which rail point did many Texas ranchers drive their cattle herds for shipment?

Many Texas ranchers drove their cattle herds to the rail point known as Abilene, Kansas, during the late 19th century. This town became a major shipping hub for cattle as it was the northern terminus of the Chisholm Trail. Ranchers sought to transport their cattle by rail to markets in the East, where demand for beef was high. Abilene's strategic location made it a vital point in the cattle drive era.

Why were the cattle trails so important and what impact did they have on Texas?

Before the arrival of the railway and modern road transport, cattle had to be driven from where they were reared to distant markets to be sold. Cattle drives could take several weeks. Once the railway arrived, the cattle would be driven to the nearest railhead and loaded onto cattle wagons - a much safer and speedier affair. So though the cattle trails were important, the coming of the railroad was even more important.
