cattle range
Where herds roam
A cattle range is a large area of open land where cattle graze, typically unfenced grassland in the American West.
The term evokes the era of open-range ranching before widespread fencing: They drove the herd across the cattle range.
Range alone often carries this meaning in contexts about livestock.
