  1. Barbed wire fences prevented cattle from roaming around freely and rustlers from stealing the cattle.
  2. Cattle overgrazed the plain grasses which meant there were higher chances of stampedes and cattle deaths.
  3. Bad weather (Blizzard and droughts) caused abundant supply of cattle; prices of cattle drop sharply and became unprofitable for cowboys.
  4. The advent of windmills meant ranchers could pump more water from the ground and kept cows fenced to roam the moist grasses.
  5. More railroads were built in Texas which cattle could not roam as much as they used to and transportation was easier for cattle pickup.
