Ruminants CAN eat food that humans can't, but they're not - they're fattened up on grain that could be fed to humans. Feeding that grain to humans would be more efficient.

It varies by locale. Most of the rural places I lived did not use human consumable cereals, as that would be far too expensive.

I'll bow to your experience; we can't just ship the same crops to people.

Still, growing crops to feed to cows to feed to people is an inefficient path to getting calories to people. Grow people crops, skip the cows.
