How does a cow's cud know when to come up into the cows mouth?

The cud isn't another animal or being, it's simply a collection of digesta that is brought up from the rumen to the cow's mouth to be rechewed again. It's brought up by the contractions of the rumen and reticulum and the anti-peristaltic action of the esophagus, which brings a bolus of partly digested matter (i.e., cud) up into the cow's mouth. Really, you should've asked "How does a cow know when she should regurgitate (or burp) up cud to rechew it again?" It might've made more sense that way.
