Margaret was raised on a large cow calf operation in central Nevada. She became actively involved in the property rights movement after her parents, Wayne and Jean Hage, filed Hage v.

She launched Stewards of the Range out of her home in Idaho in 1992. With 5000 members nationwide, Stewards merged with the American Land Foundation to create American Stewards of Liberty in July 2009 where she continues to serve as executive director. Margaret holds a Bachelors degree in English and Music received from the College of Idaho. She is married to Dan Byfield and has one daughter and three step children.
