How are most of the original grasslands in the US being used?
Most of the original grasslands are protected by state or federal lands, and are also rented by cattle ranchers to graze their cattle on there for a predetermined period of time to help in the health and growth of these native grasslands. A lot of native grasslands are also on private land, land which are owned by ranchers and used to raise their cattle on. Such ranchers take care of this land so that it supports life not only for their livestock, but also for the wildlife that live on their land.
What did ranchers in Australia and new zealand raise mainly?

What were the conflicts between farmers and cattle ranchers about?
I know after the invention of barbed wire in 1874 by Joseph Glidden the farmers and homesteaders fenced off their land, which closed off the open range and prevented any further cattle drives. I think it was always sort of a land issue, farmers wanted it to farm and ranchers wanted it to raise and drive cattle. It could also be a water issue, since in most areas water was kind of scarce.
Why do ranchers put out blocks of salt for cattle to lick?
Most ranchers will put out salt licks when there is little chance of their herd getting enough elements from the earth. Sometimes there is enough natural occurring salts that are close to the surface for the cattle, but the winter would see even those areas covered with snow.
What do cattle ranchers do every day?
The most obvious is check cattle and fences. But in reality, day-to-day activities are never the same on a ranch, and neither are two ranches the same in day-to-day activities nor in how things are run.
Why did cattle ranching become profitable in the west?
Cattle ranching became profitable because ranchers bought land cheap and when they did they bought a lot of it. They could have thousands of head of cattle and could ship them East by the railroad. People in the East needed and wanted good quality fresh beef and would pay good money for it. Ranchers could have several thousand head of cattle because they had enough land to keep them and they could hire men easily and pay them only a small fraction of the profits from selling the cattle,which left most of the money to the rancher.
How important was cattle rustling as a cause of lawlessness and violence in the west?
Cattle rustling was the main cause of lawlessness and violence in the west. The government was unable to protect ranchers from cattle rustling so many of the rancher took the law in to their own hands. Most of the west was very peaceful and not as violent as it appears in movies.
Why did the Johnson County War start?
The main reason the Johnson County Warhappened was conflict over land. Most of the land in Wyoming at that time was in the public domain, open to stock raising and to homesteading. Large numbers of cattle were turned loose on the open range by large ranches. Homesteaders moved in and settled on the land that the large ranches had been using as open range.The large ranchers claimed that they were victims of massive cattle stealing in Johnson County and that the local authorities were doing nothing to protect their herds. They also claimed that juries in Buffalo, Wyoming refused to convict on cattle rustling charges no matter how strong the evidence.The small ranchers were excluded from the spring roundups and the large ranchers used many tactics to try to force the small ranchers off their land. The small ranchers rightly claimed that their cattle had as much right to grass on the public range as did the herd of the large ranchers.By 1891, the large ranchers, members of the Wyoming Stock Growers Association (WSGA) decided they going to take action against the small ranchers. They formed a squad of invaders out of employees of the WSGA and gave them a list of 70 names to either shoot or hang.
