Best Answer

The cattle were set free to graze on "open" or public land and were marked by those who owned them so after breeding they were let go in the spring and would be regathered during the fall and as a result they grew to such an immense size that they began to overgraze and caused the rangelands quality to decrease and as a result they all suffered resulting in the deaths of a great deal of the cattle causing an end to open range ranching
