Summary "History of the Beef Cattle Industry in Illinois" by Frank Webster Farley is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the significant developments of beef cattle production in Illinois, from its origins with early settlers to the evolution of the industry into the 19th century. It explores various factors influencing cattle farming, including changes in breeding, marketing practices, and the advent of the Chicago cattle market. At the start of the book, Farley introduces the geographical and environmental context of Illinois, outlining how its topography provided both challenges and opportunities for cattle farming. He discusses early settlement patterns and the importance of water sources for livestock health, which were pivotal in shaping cattle raising practices. The narrative highlights key historical figures and trends in the cattle industry while laying the groundwork for an exploration of the cattle feeding practices, market dynamics, and the transition from local production to a more commercialized beef industry in the ensuing chapters.
