ungrazed
No livestock visited
Ungrazed describes land where livestock have not fed.
Conservation efforts often compare ungrazed areas to grazed ones to measure ecological impact: The ungrazed meadow showed greater plant diversity.
The word can also mean not touched or scraped: The bullet passed close but left him ungrazed.
