B. Better sources of water
C. Stockyards in Chicago
D. Railheads in Kansas

Answer 1

The cattle drives from Texas were going to Railheads in Kansas.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cattle drives from Texas were going to Railheads in Kansas. During the 1860s and 1870s, cattle drives were initiated to transport beef from the pastures of Texas to the nearest rail terminus in Kansas by hoof. From the railroad terminus, the cattle were then shipped directly to butchers in urban markets. The famous Chisholm Trail provided a quick path from Texas to railroad terminals in Abilene, Wichita, and Dodge City, Kansas.
