Marie Silk asked J.R. Lindermuth:

Was twelve dollars the going rate for a cow back then? (Rustling not restricted to wild west)

J.R. Lindermuth It was in the east. In the west it more related to location. For instance, a milk cow might be more scarce in some areas, demanding a higher price. for beef cattle, the market price fluctuated constantly.
