Question

How did the development of railroads impact the cattle industry?

Answer 1

The cattle ranchers wanted to sell their cattle in the east and notch. they could get better prices because the demand was high and the supply was low. cattle ranchers needed to get their cattle to railroads that were often hundreds of miles from the cattle ranchers 

Answer 2

Answer:

The railroads limited the livestock space and allowed the population access to livestock products raised in other regions.

Explanation:

Before the railroads, the population was limited to buying livestock products from that region where they lived, since going for cheaper products in another region could be very disadvantageous. With the emergence of railroads, people could look for cheaper products and this had the power to diminish the profit of the region's cattle producers. In addition, the railroads narrowed the spaces of the cattle ranching fields, so it became necessary for cattle ranching to become smaller, which consequently weakened producers' profits.
