∙ 9y agoBecause so many people moved from the east and settled in the Plains, there was less grass for cattle to feed on. There was also a drought in 1883 that killed a lot of the grass. Another factor that hurt the cattle industry in the last part of the 19th century was a drop in the demand for beef. Also, the severe winter in 1886/87 caused a lot of cattle to freeze to death.
