Cowboys were quite literally in the middle of nowhere with nothing but beans. What’s the British excuse? “Oh, my great grandmother cooked this in the blitz, and we forgot rationing ended decades ago”.
On delivery, not when they’re out in the field. Where would they even put a whole slaughtered cow? Especially with all the salt they’d need in pre-refrigerated times. Even with a wagon, that’s not an efficient way to bring food with you.
On the chuck wagon, the same way they would carry beef they didn’t slaughter on the go with the bonus that slaughtering as you go prevents you having to carry extra weight on the wagon until you actually need to. You know with beef being self propelled until it’s slaughtered and all.
You carry the salt anyway. How do you think they prepared meals the hunted? It’s far more efficient what are you even on about.
It’s like you’ve never read a book or at the very least played Oregon trail.

Literally surrounded by beef and lamb dude hence the cow part of cowboy.
You say the was reasoning thing like it’s not a thing, there are tons of ersatz recipes directly related to rationing.
You’re just being obtuse to be obtuse.
Are you under the impression that cowboys eat the herd they’re driving? No, those are for other people.
Can and did, head of cattle per set distance were a common form of payment.

On occasion sure on delivery.
