How did the invention of barbed wire help end the range wars and the cattle drives in the Great Plains?

Farmers could fence off property, preventing grazing cattle from coming through.

Barbed wire provided an inexpensive way for farmers and ranchers to fence in their property and their livestock.

Explanation: It kept their animals from wondering off of the property of their owners and also kept cattle drives from coming through their property as the barbed wire acted as a barrier to prevent cattle from moving across fenced in properties.  When enough ranchers and farmers had implemented barbed wire fencing it pretty much put an end to cattle drive as they could no longer be easily routed across distances.  Range Wars also took a hit in the fact that there was now a physical barrier that marked properties, keeping people from ranging across property not owned by them and also helped to protect the cattle of the ranchers from being stolen.
