| 11/11/2009 02:45 PM |

Cattle are grazers and browsers, eating a wide variety of grasses, forbs and leaves/bark from shrubs and trees. Not having upper front teeth, cattle can't nip off plants as a horse does but use their flexible tongue to wrap around a "bite" and break it off with a movement of the head. They bite short grass with the lower teeth and hard upper palate, but cannot graze as closely as a horse or sheep.
