grazing sheep

Woolly field feeders

Grazing sheep are sheep feeding on grass in a pasture or field.

The phrase typically describes sheep in their natural pastoral setting: Grazing sheep dotted the hillside.

The image is iconic of rural landscapes, particularly in regions like New Zealand, Wales, and Scotland where sheep farming dominates.
