Cattle get all the animal protein they need consuming the bugs and other small creatures living in their forage.

Not true. The cow's gut ferments raw fiber into fats and proteins big time.

Cow digestion

Cattle inevitably eat insects and other small fauna with their forage. There’s nothing in the write up you cut and pastted (and clearly didn’t read) that suggests or describes a process by which this animal protein is separated from the forage and rejected by the cattle. Cows digest this animal protein so what I wrote is correct and you are wrong.
