AGIST Meaning and Definition

1. Agist is a term that primarily pertains to the practice of allowing livestock, particularly grazing animals, to be temporarily housed or pastured on someone else's land for a specified period of time. This arrangement is typically made in exchange for a fee or percentage of the animals' value. The person who owns the livestock, known as the "agister," pays the landowner or landholder, referred to as the "agistee," for the use of their land, which ensures that the animals have access to sufficient grazing areas or adequate shelter. Agisting is commonly employed when the agister does not have enough grazing land of their own or needs to alleviate pressure on their existing pastures.

   The term "agist" can also be used to describe the act of caring, feeding, and managing livestock on behalf of someone else. In this context, the agister assumes responsibility for the animals' welfare, including providing them with proper nutrition, medical attention, and any necessary husbandry tasks.

   Outside of the agricultural sphere, "agist" can occasionally be used metaphorically to describe the leasing or renting of non-agricultural properties, although this usage is relatively less common.

2. To take in the cattle of others to graze.

The word "agist" has its origins in the Old French verb "agister" which means "to take care of" or "to feed horses for payment".
