Ruminants (four stomachs) Cattle like to eat in the coolest moments of the day. They feed on grass and hay. Sweating and regulating body temperature
They produce non acidic saliva. A cow produces 100 to 200 liters of saliva a day. Two toed hooves, and their teeth is adapted for their diet are a couple extra items to keep in mind.
