Before barbed wire, the American West was an open frontier where cattle roamed freely. But when fences began dividing the land, tensions between ranchers, farmers, and landless cowboys erupted into the Fence Cutting Wars of the late 19th century. In this episode of Info On The Go, Kat and William explore how barbed wire changed the West forever—sparking violent conflicts, ending cattle drives, and shaping the landscape of private property. We’ll also dive into the lesser-known Sheep Wars, another fierce battle for grazing rights.
