range land

Open cattle country

Rangeland is open country used for grazing livestock, typically too arid or rugged for cultivation.

Unlike pastures, which are planted and managed, rangeland supports native grasses and shrubs: The cattle spread across thousands of acres of rangeland.

Often spelled as one word.
