ranch lands
Where herds graze
Ranch lands are large areas of rural property used for raising livestock, particularly cattle or horses.
The term emphasizes the land itself rather than the ranching operation: The family sold off their ranch lands to developers.
Often appears in discussions of conservation, water rights, or Western real estate.
