Nothing ever changes. The reason the US eats beef and almost no lamb is because white racism

The sheepherders were always considered the weaker, or lesser, of the antagonists. They were often advocates of free grazing on public land, while the cattlemen typically fenced off the territory whether it was public or private land.

Racism was also a factor, being that many of the shepherds were either Hispanic or Native American.

many cattlemen had close relationships with local government figures and they were able to use this influence to their advantage. According to one unnamed Texas historian, "In court action, the cowboy [cattleman] usually won."
