The open range came to an end because barbed wire was invented and was incredibly cheap, this meant that cattle ranchers could fence them in cheaply. One reason they wanted to do this was because the cows could roam all over the place which led to confusion when one persons cattle ended up on another ranchers farm.
The demand for beef also fell meaning that cattle ranchers found it harder and harder to sell the cattle that they were breeding and many cattle were dying and going to waste, one reason for this was the hard weather conditions and as the business was not as good anymore and people were not making as much money anymore, they moved onto other things which were easier or made them more money.
