If she was given a choice, she would eat grass over hay. But she likes to nibble on a bit of hay too. Hay is just dried grass, and is recommended to be fed to cattle if they are put in a alfalfa pasture or on a pasture with young, high-nutrient grass to help with digestion and to discourage bloat.

How much dry grass or teff does a veal calf eat per day?

Veal calves (those that are over 2 months of age) usually only eat around 2% of their body weight in hay (which is actually dry grass or "teff") per day. Much younger calves, like those just born, are usually not ready to consume hay because it is too hard on their digestive systems and highly undigestible to them. Hay should be introduced by the time they are around a month old.
