The Jersey Cow has 4 stomachs. Each of the stomachs has their own powers. The 1st stomach can hold about 100 litres of chewed grass. In the 2nd stomach the grass forms up into a ball. Then the ball is swallowed again and it goes into the 3rd and 4th stomach and it’s broken down into smaller pieces. And that’s how the digestive system work.
