The Cattle Boom and the Rise of the Beef Trust
The piece traces the 19th century western cattle boom and the shift from independent ranchers to packer control. It notes reckless wealth, bank credit, massive investments, and later harsh winters that thinned herds, followed by collapsing prices and overcrowded ranges. Pack houses used loans to gain mortgages on cattle, consolidating power and squeezing growers while prices to consumers stayed high. The author argues government action could reset the industry onto a firmer footing after thirty years of consolidation.
