A stand-alone grazing lease between a landowner and a livestock owner for a pasture and a grazing season, covering the pasture and water, the kind and maximum number of livestock, stocking and overgrazing, rent per head, per acre, or as a flat amount, fences, water, salt, mineral and feed, weeds, animal health and identification, death or loss of livestock, the landowner's retained uses, liability and insurance, and removing the livestock at the end.
