    So it’s like chewing cud, except it’s multiple passes of the same stomach instead of different stomachs.

      Yes and no. Chewing cud only involves the first stomach for cows, since they just need to regurgitate it. It doesn’t pass to the later stomachs until the grass is sufficiently broken down
