grazier
Pasture-based farmer
A grazier is a person who raises cattle or sheep on grazing land, particularly in Australia and New Zealand where the term is most common.
The word emphasizes the pastoral nature of the work—animals feeding on open range rather than in feedlots: a wealthy grazier with thousands of acres in Queensland.
