Cattle Versus Sheep

[edit]

According to the article:

"especially between cattle ranchers with a fixed base of operations and the more migratory sheep ranchers"

NONE of the three range wars in the American West were about this at all. The Johnson County War was an attempt by cattle barons to get rid of homesteaders who were settling range land. The Lincoln County war was a fight about competition for commerce and the Pleasant Valley War was a fight over range land. This should be removed from the article Senor Cuete (talk) 20:22, 24 July 2009 (UTC)Senor Cuete[reply]

Also The Mason County War was not about sheep. Senor Cuete (talk) 01:07, 25 July 2009 (UTC)Senor Cuete[reply]

Globalize

[edit]

The opening sentence of the article suggests that range wars occur in agrarian and pastoral societies around the world, but the rest of the article is exclusively about the American west -- either the first sentence should be changed to make it clear that this article is about the old west, or some historical examples from other places and time periods should be provided. -165.234.252.11 (talk) 20:20, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
