Farmers thought that cattle and other livestock shouldn't graze the land because it had nutrients to be used for crops. Cattlemen or ranchers wanted the land to graze the animals.
Many cattlemen wanted unfenced range for their cattle and didn't like the idea of homes being built or the possibility of water being tasken.
Cattlemen were generally more successful on the plains due to the high demand for beef and their ability to establish profitable cattle ranching operations. The vast open spaces allowed for cattle drives and grazing, which contributed to their economic success. In contrast, homesteaders faced challenges such as harsh weather, limited resources, and difficulties in farming, which often hindered their success. While some homesteaders thrived, the cattle industry ultimately proved to be more lucrative and influential in shaping the plains economy.
Homesteaders and cowboys came into conflict in the 1890s primarily in the Great Plains and cattle country as the expansion of farming encroached on traditional grazing lands. The rise of barbed wire fencing by homesteaders restricted cattle movement, leading to disputes over land use and access to water sources. These tensions were exacerbated by economic pressures, such as drought and falling cattle prices, which intensified competition for the available resources. The conflicts symbolized the broader struggle between agricultural expansion and the ranching lifestyle during westward expansion.

By the 1850s there was increasing conflict between the cattle men/cowboys and the homesteaders. This was because the homesteaders wanted to keep their land but the cattle men wanted to make their way around so they could get places.
