They are re chewing undigested feedstuffs. Cattle are designed to continuously eat until they have filled their first stomach (the Rumen). When they are safe from predators, they will enter their resting state. At this point in time they will lie down and chew the undigested feedstuffs from the first stomach, swallow and put it in the next stomach. This process will repeat until all four compartments are filled and feed has been completely digested and chewed.
