Question
Cows keep chewing the food even when they are not actively grazing or eating anything. Why? (Page 127)
Answer

Cows continue to chew even when they are not eating, as they are ruminating (chewing cud) to aid in the digestion of their food
more effectively. This allows them to get the nutrients they need from rigid plant material.
