pasture
Where cattle feed
Pasture is land covered with grass or other plants suitable for grazing livestock.
Cattle, sheep, and horses feed in pastures.
The verb means to put animals out to graze: We pasture the horses in the lower field.
To put out to pasture is to retire someone or something from active service, often implying they've outlived their usefulness.
