Yes, you are correct. Option C, farms and the railroads carving up the open range, is one of the reasons why cattle owners had to buy private property to keep their cattle. Here's the explanation:
During the period of open range grazing in the United States, cattle were allowed to roam freely across vast stretches of land. However, several factors led to the need for private property ownership to keep cattle:
1. Farms: As agriculture expanded, farmers started to fence their land to protect their crops and livestock from roaming cattle. This created a barrier for open range cattle and limited their grazing areas.
2. Railroads: The construction of railroads across the country also impacted open range grazing. Railroad companies acquired large sections of land for their tracks, often fencing off these areas and blocking the movement of cattle herds.
3. Encroachment: The increasing settlement and expansion of towns and cities led to the encroachment of human settlements on open range land. This further limited the availability of open range grazing areas for cattle.
As a result of these factors, cattle owners had to purchase private property where they could confine and manage their herds within defined boundaries. This allowed them to avoid conflicts with farmers, railroads, and encroaching settlements, ensuring better control over their cattle and grazing areas.
