They eat grass by wrapping their tongues around the grass and pulling it into their mouths. The animal does not chew the grass completely. It goes down into the large where it is stored and broken down into balls of cud. The balls of cud are brought back into the mouth, chewed into pulp and swallowed again. The chewed feed then goes through the other three stomach chambers, where it is digested.
Some cattlemen raise purebreds, but others have herds consisting of one of more breeds.

Beef animals are smooth, well-muscled animals with strong legs. They are fed to produce high quality lean meat, with a minimum of bone or fat waste.
