That really depends if she actually needs it or not. If she's in poor condition, you will have to feed her around 1 to 2% of her body weight (as-fed) per day. If she's in good condition, and can do just fine on pasture (in other words, she can gain on pasture alone), then it's not needed, just as a treat to bribe her to come back into the corrals to get her annual vaccination or to get AI'd.
If this "cow" is a steer being fattened up for slaughter, then it may be best to feed him around 2% of his body weight (as fed) per day. If the "cow" is a young calf, around 1 to 2% of its body weight per day (or just a couple pounds) per day would suffice.

How much is a cow's feed efficiency?
That all depends on the individual cow and what that cow is fed. Feed efficiency is measured by dividing the amount of gain an animal experiences by the amount of feed it is fed. Feed efficiency can be influenced by the amount of grain put in a diet, the hormonal implants an animal recieves, the ionophores included in a feed, and the animal's genetics and breeding. Thus, feed efficiency itself is highly variable and tends to be inconsistent with each individual animal. This is because there are feed efficiency calculations which deem an animal suitable to be finished on a grain-based diet, and feed efficiency calculations that deem an animal suitable to be finished on grass. There is much discussion on feed efficiency of beef cattle, so much that it would be worthwhile to visit some or all of the related links posted below.

Is dried hard corn a good feed for a cow?
It is if it's processed enough that the microbes in the cow's rumen can break it down and digest it. It would be a waste of money to feed if it's fed whole/unprocessed and not much nutrient can be gleaned from it by either the microbes or the cow.
