The amount a cow eats in the pasture is not measured by "pounds of pasture" as pasture includes the plants and the soil. The amount of forage biomass or just forage is what you should be referring to. So, a typical 1000 lb cow will eat around 2.5% of her body weight in dry matter, which is around 26 lbs DM.
