Cull cows can be put on pasture, or fed a mix of hay and grain before slaughtering them. It's advisable to put them on a bit of grain so that the meat doesn't taste to strong or is tough. Of course how the meat turns out depends on the breed and how long it is hung for.

∙ 13y agoIt's not really important whether you feed a cow right before it gets butchered. When it gets butchered, the stomach contents are going to be cut out anyway, and the meat kept to be eaten.
But, if you mean to fatten up a cow before butchering, you may wish to feed it a little bit of grain (around 10 to 20 lbs per day) along with hay and/or grass for a few weeks before sending her to the butcher.
