Another reason why grass is what cows should eat:

Too much grain, which has little to no fiber, in a cow’s diet can be hazardous to her health. It can lead to acidocis, a disorder of the digestive system caused by too much acid, which can in turn lead to laminitis. Laminitis, a burst blood vessel in the foot, can cause hemorrhaging and end up being fatal for the cow.
