Colorado is a “fence out” state, meaning property owners are charged with the task of fencing their property to keep livestock out.
The rancher isn’t required to fence his or her livestock in.

Open range laws are interesting when it comes to livestock but with the buffalo the situation may be different. Buffalo are generally considered a wild animal and if they are harassing domestic livestock the owner (state?) has the responsibility to control them. This rancher may well have been within his rights if he was killing to protect his stock or himself. Buffalo are dangerous and carry Brucellosis.

If I was on the jury I would say that bison are not considered livestock.
