They would if they could. Lettuce is just another green plant to a cow, and it'll chow down without thinking more about it. As an aside, but on a related note, we don't feed cows lettuce. That's because lettuce is sold to people, and also because the nutritional value of lettuce is low. It's trace elements and fiber are what make it attractive for us, but would make it a less-than-best choice for a cow. Cows would rather eat grains if they have a choice. And a lot of what they are fed are enriched grains.

∙ 12y agoAbsolutely!! Alfalfa, clover, sanfoin, cicer milkvetch, trefoil, laspedenza are all legumes, and all are consumed by cattle. Alfalfa and clover cannot be fed alone since they tend to cause a lot of bloat problems. However, other legumes listed here can be fed in an over-50% legume diet since they tend to not cause bloat like alfalfa and clover can.
Legumes are an excellent source of protein and calcium for cattle, and are one of the top forages fed or grazed by cattle in addition grasses. Legumes can be included in a fodder or forage ration as little as 2% or as much as 100%, depending on the species used or preferred by the producer.
