Three copies of said notice shall be posted at conspicuous places upon said range by the sheriff of the county in which said range is situated and return made to the clerk of said court, and thereafter it is unlawful for any person, whether acting in the person's own behalf or as the agent, servant, or employee of another, to graze or herd stock not entitled to be herded or grazed thereon.
