Cows should always have access to food, but that doesn’t mean they’re constantly eating. Whether they’re grazing on pasture or living in a barn, cows typically eat 5–9 meals a day. In between, they rest and ruminate (aka chew their cud). It’s the ruminant rhythm that keeps them healthy and happy. #dairy #cow #feed #eating #eatinghabits #vet #meals #breakfast #lunch #dinner #dairydoc #dairykind | Dairy Doc
