grazing rights
Livestock feeding permission
Grazing rights are legal permissions to let livestock feed on land you don't own—typically public lands managed by government agencies.
Ranchers in the American West often hold grazing rights on federal land, paying fees to run cattle or sheep there.
The rights may be leased, inherited, or attached to adjacent private property: The ranch came with grazing rights on BLM land.
