Open range refers to a type of land use where livestock, particularly cattle, are allowed to roam freely over vast areas without being confined by fences. This practice was common in the American West during the 19th century, facilitating cattle grazing on public lands. Open range laws often contrasted with fenced lands, leading to conflicts between ranchers and farmers. The concept highlights the historical and economic significance of cattle ranching in frontier development.
