In the rumen.
Cows do not have two or four stomachs. They only have one stomach with four chambers. Thus, the chambers go as follow, in order from front to rear: reticulum, rumen, omasum, and abomasum.
Yes a sheep's stomach has four compartments, the rumen, reticulum, omasum and abomasum.
Yes! Cows do, in fact, have only one stomach. This stomach is divided into four chambers, being the rumen, reticulum, omasum and abomasum. It is common misconception that cows have four stomachs, when they only have one.
In a matter of speaking, yes, but technically, no. Cows have three forestomachs and one true stomach. The "fourth stomach" then would be the abomasum, while the other forestomachs are called, in order, the reticulum, rumen and omasum. It can also be agreed upon, by common knowledge though, that cows have one main stomach with four compartments, thus the fourth compartment would be known as the abomasum.
The name of the cow's first "stomach" (which is simply a chamber connected to other chambers in one large stomach of a ruminant) is the Reticulum, where hardware like nails, wire, and other metal objects sit and get digested and broken down by gastric juices.

If you so mean what is the role of the Endoplasmic Reticulum, it transports materials!
The goat has one very large stomach with four parts; the rumen, the reticulum, the omasum, and the abomasum.
Sheep are ruminants, which means that they have four stomach chambers. The myth that you have probably heard about cows having four stomachs is not true, cows have one stomach, containing four chambers (rumen, reticulum, omasum and abomasum). Animals with only one stomach chamber (like humans) are known as monogastric animals.
