How much food do cows on organic farms eat compared to regular farms?
Organic cattle is pasture raised on high quality grass. Normal cattle is pasture raised on grass. The difference is what is fed to fatten the cow for market. All cattle need grass and/or hay. Non-Organic farmers use a commercial feed blend of about 15% protein which contains additives and preservatives to expand shelf-life. Organic farmers use only organic products and may even grow their own grain to feed the cattle in order to fatten them up.
