A balanced diet of mainly hay with supplemental grain is better. A sedentary horse fed a good quality hay may not require grain but will benefit from the addition of free choice salt and mineral supplements.

No, hay is cut and dried grass. It is forage, and since forage is so important in a horses diet, if a horse doesn't have access to grass 24/7, hay is given when he doesn't have grass.

Your cow will eat grain but not hay it is five to six months old?

Maybe your calf is eating the hay behind your back. What you can do to make him eat hay is to try mixing the grain with the hay, like take an armful of hay, pour some grain on top and mix just a little bit of it, but leave like 60% of the grain ontop of the pile of hay. The other thing that could be the reason he won't eat hay is he's got grass to eat at, and is eating that instead of that dry, tasteless hay.

Do you need to feed grain to lowlines if feed good hay?

No. Grain should only be fed if a) you are wanting to finish them on grain for beef, or b) they are loosing weight and condition on hay, or if the hay is not adequate nutrition enough for lactating cows and/or growing cattle. If you're doing none of the above or your cows and growers are doing just fine on hay alone, then don't bother wasting your money on grain.
