They use their tongue and lower incisors to rip grass from the ground. The long, thick tongue has bristles on it which enables the cow to grip the grass. She brings the tuft of grass into her mouth, which lets the lower incisors "snip" off the grass. She chews a little then swallows, but she mostly swallows it to grab another piece. Cattle also use their tongue to "scoop" silage or grain into their mouths.

Later they regurgitate the feed up to rechew it when they're resting. This is known as "chewing the cud."
They either eat grasses in a pasture or hay and grain feed in a barn.
