How did the spread of railroads throughout the South and West help both ranchers and farmers?

Before the railroad cattle had to be driven to the stock yards by cattle drive. It took weeks and men to keep them going in the right direction. The cattle would lose weight, die, stampede, and get lost so it was a real task to get them to market. The railroad solved many of these problems. Massive stock yards developed and the cattle was collected there then shipped east by rail. Some of the Midwestern cities of today began as stock yards for the railroad. The production of cattle went up and more investment went into cattle ranches. One investor was Teddy Roosevelt when he was a partner in an South Dakota cattle ranch. He only was there once ( his wife and mother died the same day when he was there) and he never went back. Today it is a national park with a nice museum of many items that belonged to Roosevelt.
