Cows are grassfed most of the time it's cheaper to put them in a pasture than it is to feed them corn and grain. Farmers will use other feed if they don't have a choice.

We had a drought last year and I saw truckloads of hay being moved for cattle, and I know some farmers had to downsize their herds due to the drought and them not having hay to feed them. It also can depend on the protein content of the grass if it is providing them enough nutrition otherwise farmers will have to supplemental feed too. Grass fed sounds perfect and great and all, but it's not always ideal depending on the land for that season.

At least that's how it is here in North Dakota. I don't know how it is in other states.
