The correct answer is A) native grasses were destroyed.
<em>One effect of settlers bringing herds of sheep and cattle to the west in the middle 1980s was that native grasses were destroyed.</em>
One of the consequences of bringing herds of cattle and sheep to the Western region of the country was that native grasses that existed in were destroyed because the animals needed to feed and the grass was the natural food they had. Those lands belonged to the Native American Indian tribes that inhabited the region before the white man began to settle in those territories.
Farming remained the the main economic activity. It moved west with settlement. Inventions, such as cotton gin, encouraged planters to grow even more crops.
