Yes. Cattle ranches became an important segment of the Californian economy, selling hides since 1821 (year of Mexican Independence) with American traders, while most of Mexico's holdings reverted back to subsistence farming.

It was not however, until 1848 (after California was lost to the United States) that such state became an economic power in its own right.
