English term or phrase: open-range ranching
El texto habla sobre las venta de tierras en Argentina después de la independencia (fines de 1800) y como se realizaban estas operaciones y quienes las compraban.

Transcribo el párrafo para que ayude a la comprensión de esta expresión:

"Meanwhile the Argentine state expanded by driving out the Amerinidians, and it paid for these campaigns by selling the new land in advance. These operations brought in money, but they meant selling the land in gobs to speculators who found their quickest return in open-range ranching".
Carmen Garcia Morillo
Spanish translation:en pastizales abiertos [no cercados] para estancias de ganado
Explanation:
I don't know if it is necessary to translate the English term open-range as such. It comes from the US rivalries between sheep ranching (fenced) and cattle ranching (unfenced). I don't know whether any such conflict existed in Argentina.
