Answer 2

Cattle ranching on the plains survived, but only as big business with fenced pastures. The fence of choice was
barbed wire, which was invented in the 1860s but then improved and patented by Joseph F. Glidden in 1874. Barbed wire
made fencing large areas practical and inexpensive. These new fences kept each rancher’s cattle within the boundaries
while it kept the other cattle out. The widespread use of barbed wire by the late 1800s combined with large-scale overgrazing
ended the era of grazing cattle on the open range. Barbed wire also made long cattle drives impractical or
impossible. The cowboys who had herded steers along the cattle trails and on the open range became ranch hands. The
longhorns were replaced with more traditional European breeds.
