Cows are known to sleep for just about 4 hours per day. So they spend the majority of their day either eating or ruminating. Being ruminant animals, cows spend about 8 hours of a day grazing and 12 hours ruminating. Rumination or chewing the cud is the process in which an animal regurgitates partially digested food from the rumen (the first compartment of a cow's stomach) to chew and grind it again. #cows #cattle #friesiancow #dairycow #ranching #grazing #farmlife #farmliving #nature #agritourism #farmtours #familytours #almatfarmslive #visitalmatfarms (at Abuja, Nigeria) https://www.instagram.com/p/CN7pXmggZJG/?igshid=7xaneaxh2n4v
