Pastured

Men whistled at the plough; [gleaners and haymakers were seen in quiet groups at work;] sheep and oxen pastured; boys whooped and called, in fields, to scare away the birds.

A youth, who pastured his herds at a little distance and who was handsome and fond of melody, vied with her in singing: as he was a man his voice was deeper, but as he was young it was also very sweet.

Thus plundering as they went, the soldiers landed at last on the estate where Daphnis and Chloe pastured their goats and sheep, and carried off whatever spoil they could find.

The young folks have been brought up together, they have pastured their flocks in company, they have contracted a mutual fondness for each other that cannot easily be dispelled, and they are now of an age to be married.

If you can't find pastured chickens, the next best thing is to buy organic.
