I'd like to install a chain link fence around my property. Are they difficult to install?
Farmers wanted to plow the land to sow their crops in, and had to fence off their property against unwanted guests like cattle. The cattle drivers, on other hand, wanted a fence-free country to move their herd of cattle across so they didn't have to make detours around all these fenced property. Sometimes they didn't even bother going around the fenced areas, but simply through them, ruining the farmer's hard work. This lead to confrontations between farmers and the cattle drivers.
Cattle don't need to be watched, unlike sheep and chickens do. Cattle can look after themselves enough that the farmer doesn't need to watch them all that often. Other things on the farm or ranch can be attended to, like haying, fixing fence, doing repairs on machinery, etc. The only "Cattle" Farmers are called Dairy Farmers and they are either milking, feeding, breeding, or doctoring the Dairy Cattle, usually when you speak of cattle it is beef cattle.
The railroad and barbed wire fences.
The widespread use of barbed wires brought an end to open range grazing, and made possible the settlement of the frontier by small farmers. The wire stopped cattle owners from letting their cattle graze on new farmland, as cattle could not break the wire. Since it was cheap, even small farmers could fence their fields and keep the cattle from grazing on their fields.
The invention of barbed wire by Joseph Glidden in 1874 helped farmers to fence in their lands on the lumber-scarce plains. Using mail-order windmills to drill deep wells provided some water.

Barbed wire.
The invention that contributed the most to the end of open plains was barbed wire. Farmers and settlers used barbed wire to fence in their herds and create property boundaries.
Cattle ranchers vs Sheep herders since sheep make water holes unpotable for cattle, Farmers vs Cattle ranchers since farmers want to fence in crops and cattle need an open range, Bankers vs debtors bankers have the cash and debtors have assets but very uneven cash flow. Native Americans vs new comers since they had different ideas about land ownership. Mormons vs everyone else.
Most would consider railroads as the decline of cattle drives, but more importantly barbed wire or "Devil's wire" and the advent of fencing off property was the culprit. People thought they needed it to protect their cattle or for farmers to protect their crops against free-roaming cattle, but it destroyed the concept of open ranges and the ability to graze cattle freely across an un-fenced landscape.
Yes, it's against the law if you don't have your cattle fenced in on your property.
