d. the cattle industry
The cattle industry emerged directly out of the farming industry in Texas. Originally, Texas's vast prairies and favorable climate were ideal for cattle grazing, which led to the growth of the cattle industry. This was further aided by the development of rail transport, enabling ranchers to send cattle to markets in the Midwest and the East, where beef was in high demand.
