Always one cow per straw, NEVER more than one cow per straw because of the risk of transmitting sexually transmitted diseases from one cow to another. If a cow didn't catch on the first straw, then another one will need to be inserted and sperm deposited into her.

Do horses eat straw?
Actually, if there is nothing more interesting to eat, cows and horses will certainly EAT straw. Straw is often used as bedding in horse stall, and many horses eat it.
