What was a clause of range wars in the west?

A key clause of the range wars in the American West involved disputes over land and water rights between cattle ranchers and farmers. Often, ranchers sought to graze their cattle on open range lands, which farmers claimed for crop cultivation, leading to conflicts. These tensions were exacerbated by the introduction of barbed wire, which allowed farmers to enclose their lands, further restricting cattle movement. Ultimately, the range wars highlighted the struggle for resources and the differing visions of land use in the expanding West.
