Question 4

The modernization of ranching in the late 19th century in the United States was due to railroads, amounts of land, and controlled areas. By having large amounts of cattle being raised on a area of land that was contolled the rancher could feed the cattle to their likings to raise the quality of meat meaning higher price. After all of this was done this is when the railroads were introduced, which would send the cattle to packers. This both helped near-by farmers because the ranchers had to buy food for their cattle from them. Both the ranchers and farmers would attempt to work together so both could create a bigger profit for each other since many people in the original colonies wanted this beef.
