grazing animals
Grass-eating herd
Grazing animals are herbivores that feed on grass and other low-growing vegetation—cattle, sheep, horses, deer, and similar creatures.
The term appears in agricultural, ecological, and land-management contexts: The hillside was damaged by overgrazing animals.
Grazing animals are distinguished from browsers, which feed on leaves and woody plants.
