A paddock is a small, enclosed area of land used primarily for grazing livestock, such as cattle or horses. These areas are often fenced to keep animals contained and can vary in size depending on the needs of the farm or ranch. Paddocks provide a safe space for animals to feed on grass and other vegetation. In addition to grazing, paddocks can also be used for training animals or growing specific crops. They are an essential part of sustainable farming practices, allowing for rotational grazing, which helps maintain soil health and prevents overgrazing.
