After the end of the open range, land became closed range. When land was open range, cows and sheep could wander anywhere. They would go down the road and graze wherever they pleased. If you did not want someone else's cows grazing in your pasture, it was your job to fence it in. Generally, it meant your cows were free to wander from a pasture down the road back in the road to your barn. When open range ended, you had to provide a gate on one side of the road and a gate on your side of the road. The cattle could cross the road but they could not wander along the road. You had to provide the path on your property for the cows.
