In the book Lonesome Dove the main characters drive a heard of cattle from the Rio Grande of Texas up to Montana. Why would settlers go all the way to Montana to settle instead of stopping in any of the open land they cross in Kansas , Nebraska, etc which seems a bit more hospitable weather wise?

Granted I know very little about cows and only really know the geography and climate of those states in today’s world.
