Domestic cattle spend six to seven hours a day eating. They take short breaks every so often to chew cud. They find a peaceful spot on the pasture to do this. Cows do not have any incisors on their upper jaws. That is why they hold grass firmly between the teeth on their lower jaw & the dental pad on their upper jaw. Then they pinch it off with a powerful tug of their tongue. The coarsely shredded grass is swallowed, regurgitated as cud & then chewed a second time. This process is called rumination. It is often said that cows have four stomachs, but in fact they only have one, with three small compartments that food passes through first: the rumen, the reticulum, the omasum &, finally, the actual stomach: the abomasum.

Cows & their calves have an extremely deep, life-long bond. They lick & nibble at each other. If they are separated, they can recognise each other later on from their voice & scent. Calves are born around once a year. It is very important they drink the milk of their mother within the first few hours. This is a special yellowish liquid known as colostrum that cannot be drunk by humans. It contains numerous antibodies that help the calf to resist diseases. After around five days, the calf will have had enough colostrum & will then drink normal cow milk for around ten months until it can nourish itself exclusively from grass & other plants.
