Yes, both options 2 and 3 contribute to the need for cattle owners to buy private property for their herds. Cattle in open-range herds got mixed together, which made it difficult to keep track of ownership and made it easier for cattle thieves to steal. Farms and railroads also cut up the open range, making it harder for herds to find food and water, and further complicating the issue of ownership and theft. Buying private property allowed cattle owners to manage their herds more effectively and protect their investments.
