The arrival of miners, cattle ranchers, and homesteaders in the West often led to conflicts over land use and resources. Miners disrupted the land with their operations, which could harm agricultural land and water sources. Cattle ranchers and homesteaders frequently clashed over grazing rights and land ownership, leading to tensions and sometimes violent confrontations. Additionally, the influx of settlers contributed to the displacement of Indigenous peoples, further complicating the region's social dynamics.

Cattle Drive.
I know after the invention of barbed wire in 1874 by Joseph Glidden the farmers and homesteaders fenced off their land, which closed off the open range and prevented any further cattle drives.
