grazing land

Where livestock feed

Grazing land is open terrain where livestock feed on grass and other vegetation.

Ranchers and farmers use grazing land for cattle, sheep, and goats: The drought has dried up grazing land across the region.

The term emphasizes the land's function rather than ownership—grazing land may be privately held or public rangeland leased for agricultural use.
