Under the Homestead Act (1862), more than 50% of the Western range land in the United States passed to private ownership and was fenced with barbed wire. The national forests and other public lands of the West still contain vast unfenced ranges; grazing permits are purchased by ranch owners.

Range management involves regulation of grazing and other economically productive uses of range land to prevent overgrazing or other abuse of the resource.
