VERY good point!

Another point on open range , anyone can run livestock some states wouldn't let you run horses on the highways ,they had to be kept behind fences,

Also there's an unwritten code between the ranchers that ,each had their own range they could graze on , separated by a creek,stream,road,some other natural boundary .

And I've been on both sides of the open range laws at different times.
