We have a lot of dairy ranches where we live. The cows are out in the
fields during the day. I doubt they get a significant portion of their
food from pasture, though. Hay is grown where it is flat enough, but I
suspect most of their food is trucked in. There are a lot of feed
trucks out on the road.
