Where do cows get the calcium from?

Cows give milk. Milk has calcium. But where do the cows get the calcium? Is it in their diets? Do grasses contain a lot of calcium?

It would seem so. They (herbivores) also get a significant amount of the calcium that their own bodies need that way.

Green leafy veggies are decent sources of calcium, and considering the quantity of greens and the quality of digestion for a cow, they absorb a good amount of it.

Most people would have a hard time getting most of the calcium from greens, but you can get a fair amount.

I thought it might also be interesting to note that cows often become deficient in calcium during calving.

It’s an amazing thing to watch a cow with milk fever after receiving a shot of calcium, they usually get right up like nothing was wrong to start with!
