"Open Range" is just that. Open (no fences), and rangeland. So if you own property around land that is designated and marked as Open Range then yes, if you want to keep out livestock and wildlife, it is up to you to fence them out. It DOES NOT apply to people living in towns or cities. I know of no towns or cities in Nevada that are designated Open Range.
When I moved to my current semi-rural location 30 years ago this was designated as Open Range. About 10 years later, after more people moved to the area, the county removed the Open Range designation. Of course, livestock (and as far as I'm concerned, that includes mustangs) doesn't care about legal designations. They will go where the food and water is.
