Not exactly, no. They will eat the leaves off of trees, though, even if there is grass around, but they don't eat trees like it is their primary food source. The primary food source for cattle is grass in the form of hay, silage and grain.

How many tons of feed will it take to feed 50 cattle for a year?

It depends on the average size of the cattle. The amount of feed to feed cattle depend on their average weight and sex of cattle. Mature cows tend to eat more than weaned calves; young bulls eat more than steers, and steers tend to eat more than heifers. Older cattle eat more than younger cattle, and, thinner cattle eat more than fatter cattle. So with that, I cannot give you an accurate number.
