Cowboys would move herds of cattle across vast expanses of land, Homesteaders owned parcels of land and were very protective of it, and nearly all did not have fences. This meant that the cowboys herds would end up on homesteaders land from time to time, the two would sometimes argue or become violent about grazing rights for the cattle.
