He usually worked with eight or ten other men. He rarely carried a gun. Cowboys played a huge part in the cowboy lasted only thirty years from 1865 to 1895. The cattle farming grew to be a big business. New ways to keep meat fresh had beaten a big demand for beef cattle. At the same time, railroads had been built across much of the country.
