The Confederate Army struggled to capitalize on Texas herds as a food source primarily due to logistical challenges and Union blockades that hindered supply lines. Additionally, the vast distances and limited infrastructure made it difficult to transport large quantities of cattle to the front lines. Furthermore, local resistance and the diversion of resources to other critical areas diminished their ability to exploit Texas's cattle resources effectively.

Do raptors travel in herds?

Raptors, or birds of prey, typically do not travel in herds like some other bird species. They are generally solitary hunters, although some species may occasionally be seen in loose groups when feeding on a large food source, such as a carcass. Their hunting strategies and territorial behaviors usually lead them to be more independent. However, during migration, certain raptor species may fly in groups to take advantage of thermal currents.
