What does it mean to say a property is fenced and cross-fenced?

Question

I often see that applied to farm land, places with horses / cattle, and ranches... Does it mean the land is partitioned up by fenced in both directions?

Fenced means there's fencing around the outside.

Cross-fenced means a larger property is divided up into pastures and other working spaces.
