Cattle, Cotton, Oil, & Railroads Era

Myth of Cowboys

Cattle & Cowboys Reality

Reality of Cowboy Life Chisolm Trail Cattle Drive: Play 1:45-9:30

Life on a Cattle Drive Worked 18 hour days. Would travel 10-12 miles per day on the trail. Encountered issues: strong rains, flooding, high winds, and angry farmers Required: patience, bravery, & endurance from cowboys

Cattle Drive Trails Early cattle were raised on public land known as the open range. Cows were branded with branding irons to show ownership. Vaqueros (Spanish cowboys) branded, herded, and drove cattle to markets

Big Ranches More money could be made with larger ranches. Example: King Ranch In South Texas Still one of the largest ranching empires in the world

Barbed Wire Ended “open range” Could control breeding  better quality beef Kept animals out of crops

End of the Cattle Drive Era Overproduction: of cattle led prices to drop. Barbed wire fences: closed off open range. Railroads: cattle to be transported quickly
