Explanation

Cattle pasture is an example of land used for grazing animals. Unlike crop fields (wheat, corn, orange orchard), pastures grow grass for livestock to eat directly.

Types of pastures: natural (indigenous grasses) and improved (planted with nutritious species like Brachiaria, Panicum, or Stylosanthes).

Good pasture management sustains livestock production economically by providing free-range feed for ruminant animals.
