Why do cows excrete grass filled feces?
Usually it's from a sudden switch from a high-fibre diet to one that is low in fibre and high in energy and protein, like switching cows from a hay-only diet to a fresh pasture. The grass that cows eat get digested in the rumen, and the by-product that does not get used or is not needed are expelled as feces.

How do cows rely on plants?
They keep the grass down without the farmer having to turn on a tractor and hook up a mower to mow the grass him or herself. While he or she's got cows eating the grass, the farmer can be free to do other things that need to be done. Plus the grass benefits from the grazing cows, enabling the grass to grow more healthier when it is being grazed; the feces and urine from the cows also aid in grass growth. The deposition of manure leaves the farmer one less job to do as well; he/she doesn't need to spread manure that would've otherwise accumulated in the drylot if he/she had to feed the cows in a drylot instead of having them get their on food out on the pasture.
