How did ranchers get cattle to market after the range was fenced?

After the range was fenced, ranchers adapted by using railroads and trucks to transport cattle to market. They would often drive their cattle to nearby railheads, where the animals could be loaded onto freight cars for long-distance shipment. Additionally, some ranchers began to establish more centralized feedlots, allowing them to fatten cattle close to urban markets before sending them off for sale. This shift marked a significant change in the logistics of cattle ranching and distribution.
