The Spaniards imported cattle in the 1500s. By 1850 these cattle interbred with English cattle to produce the Longhorn, which thrived in Texas. Eastern cities needed beef and Texas had a surplus. To move 1000 head of cattle it took 7 mounted cowboys to handle the cattle drives, but economically it was worth it. In 1866 a steer cost $4 in Texas and sold in the East for $40 a head, which reflected inflated pricing, but many took advantage of it to make money.
