Longhorn Cattle In The 1800s
Around the ending of the fifteenth century, Europeans who first settled in America brought longhorn cattle along with them. The population of cattle multiplied. By the early nineteenth century, more cattle ranches were common in places such as Mexico. Mexico was included to become Texas. Longhorn cattle were kept on open range and looked after by cowboys also referred to as vaqueros. In 1836, Texas became independent because Mexicans left with their cattle behind. Around that time beef was not popular so animals were only used for their skin and tallows. However; in 1850, the use for beef flourished which resulted in some ranchers becoming wealthy. The Civil War, 1861, broke out between the Northern and

Joseph wanted to bring the longhorn cattle from Texas to Chicago. From there, he wanted to distribute the cattle to the East. He would have made lots money by doing this process. Homesteaders who established themselves in Kansas objected to cattle crossing over their land. Homesteader is a lifestyle of self-sufficiency. It is characterized by subsistence agriculture, home preservation of foodstuffs, and it may or may not also involve the small-scale production of textiles, clothing, and craftwork for household use or sale. Homesteaders objected this idea because they believed cattle cursed a tick that would kill the other animals. Cattlemen carrying cattle through Kansas met fierce oppositions and were reluctant to make the …show more content…
We use math with very simple things but we do not really realize it. Imagine yourself as a cook. You are getting ready to prepare your famous ice cream brownie spiral from scratch. You need approximately, four brownie mixes, 1 egg for each brownie mix, 1/3 of oil for ever brownie mix, and water.
Without a measuring cup, you get each accurate amount of eggs, oil, and water. That is using math! How would you know the amount of oil to use without knowing the conversing of measurements?
How does Math and Cattle Ranching relate?...... In order to run a cattle ranch you have to have many skills. Being good at math is just one of the many. Since the population of cattle has increased, the profit of them has too. Cattlemen and cattlewomen have come up with many ways to get a good profit for cattle. Here are a few examples of the ways the cattle are profited. Calculating the grazing use by assigning a dollar ($1) value for each head of the animal is called Head Months. By doing so, the value of head month varies for each class livestock.
However; the disadvantage to it is often arbitrary and historically set. It depends on the area the grazing is occurring. -Example: 200 heads every 2 months equals 400
