Grass farming is a term coined by livestock producers referring to the fact that they are raising their livestock to live off of and harvest grass. Producers who call themselves grass farmers are predominantly using the animals to harvest the grass, and are focusing on growing and managing grass (and legumes as well) for optimum productivity. The animals, like cattle, sheep, goats and horses, are merely a means to harvest this grass and to aid in its growth and management.

Livestock have to be raised and selected so that they are not relying on supplementation throughout the time they are on pasture. Such livestock are called "grass-fed" livestock, though in fact the animals are not fed grass, but are made to feed themselves.
