It's better not to. When you have a small square bale or any kind of bale, it's best to take the strings off and throw the hay in in a feed trough or bunk or bale feeder instead of throwing a bale hither-thither in the pen. You get more waste when it's thrown on the ground for them than if it's in a feeder.
Just like eating through a fence, they do it because they can and because they love to eat fresh grass, not the stuff that has just been grazed over once before. However, cows can be made to eat through a fence because it's easier for the producer to feed them that way, minimizing contamination and waste of feed.
In the most primal sense, cows get their food from the plants which naturally emerge and grow from the soil, because these animals are both herbivores and primary consumers. In the more modern agricultural sense, cows get their food from humans who harvest various "special" plants for them and feed these plants in their stored varieties called hay, grain or silage out of containers such as bale feeders, feed troughs/feed bunks, or mangers.
you feed male cows (bulls) the same thing that you feed female cows so mostly grass.
Phosphorus deficiency. Increase phosphorus intake in the feed and/or mineral mix and your cows won't be trying to chew wood anymore.
Grazing, or just plain eating if they're at a feed bunk or bale of hay. However, some, if not most, state that the answer to this question is rumination, even though, technically speaking, "rumination" is not exactly the whole "process of cows eating."
Farmers and ranchers often feed the cows. However cows are able to feed themselves when they're out grazing on pasture.
Grass is the most inexpensive feed you can feed your cows. It grows in your backyard and in your pastures, and only requires the cows to harvest it themselves. Hay comes as the second least expensive feed to feed cattle.
you feed them RAW MEAT from cows
You can use barriers like fences or hedges to prevent cows from accessing shrubbery. You can also try planting shrubs that are not appetizing to cows or using repellents specifically designed to deter grazing animals. Grazing rotation and providing an alternative feed source can also help redirect the cows' attention away from shrubbery.
