Goshen County is home to antelope, deer, wild turkey, geese, ducks and other game birds. The region enjoys mild winters and an abundance of wildlife. In the 1920s, the Union Pacific Railroad expanded into Goshen County, allowing the principle industry of agriculture to flourish. Over 200,000 cattle are raised and marketed in Goshen county. Potatoes, beans, corn and other grains, and alfalfa are among the crops produced. Sugar beets are grown and processed locally. Anglers can catch trout in the North Platte and Laramie Rivers; perch, walleye and catfish abound in the smaller streams and reservoirs.
