Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Barbed wire and windmills brought about the closing of the once open range, ended the great trail driving era, and allowed ranchers to improve their land. By 1900, hundreds of windmills and thousands of miles of fences insured that ranchers could better use their grass, water and manpower.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ranching is the practice of raising herds of animals on large tracts of land. Ranchers commonly raise grazing animals such as cattle and sheep. Some ranchers also raise elk, bison, ostriches, emus, and alpacas. The ranching and livestock industry is growing faster than any other agricultural sector in the world.
