grazing cattle
Cows eating grass
Grazing cattle are cattle that feed on grass and other vegetation in pastures or open rangeland, as opposed to those raised in feedlots on grain.
The phrase often appears in discussions of land use, agriculture, and environmental impact: The hillside was dotted with grazing cattle.
Grazing cattle have shaped the landscape of the American West.
