Answer -
4 Parts

Also, hardly any cows just eat grass these days. That's not how you get a lot of meat as fast and as cheap as possible. Also, since cows need a lot of grass, I a lot less area would remain for other crops even if they did (since grass needs way more area for the same amount of calories than stuff like soybeans). So it's actually a good thing, they aren't just eating grass.
