On train home and I see cows in a field chomping, and the grass is very short, but how come they don’t eat all the grass and ruin the field?
What made me think this is locusts or whatever they’re called which destroy crops and leave nothing behind

Cattle and horses only cut the grass so far. Sheep cut it far closer more like a golf course green leaving nothing for cattle. That and fences led to range wars between cowboys and sheep farmers. Neither of them pluck it entirely from the dirt they leave a crown of the plant where the blades grow out of.
Why do they do that? Because it’s tastier and less works. Plants don’t want that part to be easily eaten.
