Barbed wire was considered positive fr demarcation of property but not so because it created partitions and killed cattle
Step-by-step explanation:
Negatives:
Texas had a considerable amount of cattle in the old time and it still does.
The introduction of the barbed wire into the farms was rather difficult for the cattle and they would die on it.
It was also the first time one man's crop was demarcated by hard borders from another.
The positive included less animals devouring the crops however and even less cases of other people poaching into private property of the other farmers.
