How does cow's milk contain so much calcium when they only eat plants?

In New Zealand where cows are all grass fed, they eat 50 kg of grass each day. Milk is concentrated nutrients.
Correct.

Moreover, the lactating dairy cows which are kept in industrial conditions usually receive mineral supplements with calcium and/or phosphorus, in variable quantities, depending on the composition of their food, to achieve a maximal milk production, unlike the cows which graze freely.
