What was the open range and what brought about the end of the open range?
The open range was a system of unconfined land in the American West where cattle grazed freely without the constraints of fences, allowing ranchers to expand their herds and access vast grazing areas. The end of the open range was primarily brought about by the introduction of barbed wire in the 1870s, which enabled ranchers to enclose their land, coupled with the overgrazing of pastures and the harsh winter of 1886-1887 that decimated cattle populations. These factors, along with increased agricultural development and land claims, transformed the landscape and led to the decline of the open range era.
