The false statement among the options provided is:
a. Early cattle herds in Texas were raised primarily along the coast and on fertile lands.
The early cattle herds in Texas weren't primarily raised along the coast and fertile lands; instead, they were often found in the more open and less fertile areas. This was due to the nature of cattle ranching, which required vast expanses of land for grazing. The other statements are generally accurate in depicting aspects of the history of cattle ranching in Texas, such as the arrival of cattle with the Spanish, the establishment of ranches by Spanish missionaries and the shift towards private ranching impacting mission ranches.
