They eat hay, vegetables, fruits like Pears and apples. Some milk farmers feed their cows left over candy from nearby candy factories. Candies like gummy worms and mint jawbreakers. Most dairy farmers feed their cows a mixture of essential proteins and other various nutrients to maximize milk production.

Cows on pasture have a diet of mostly grass but also incorporate around 5 to 10% of their diet in forbs which constitue primarily of legumes. These include but are not restricted to alfalfa, clover, milk vetch (the non-poisonous species), trefoil, lespedeza, sanfoin and others. Cows are also fed by-products such as brewer's yeast, canola meal, dried distiller's grains, waste bakery products, etc., and culled vegetables including potatoes, carrots, apples, lettuce, beans, peas, etc.

Any type of feed like hay or silage includes grass. Corn is a grass, so to say "corn" would not apply to this question. Same goes for barley, wheat, oats, triticale and rye. Cows can also be fed turnips and beets but, like with apples and the other vegetables mentioned, they must be grounded--even in a coarse form--before they can be fed to cattle otherwise they may present a choking hazard.
