I doubt the cow actually ate it. Cows chew everything they eat meticulously. It would have spitted or threw it out as soon as it realized a piece of metal was in the mouth. It could have stepped on it and pushed it into the soil.
A mate of mine had a long driveway through the paddocks leading up to the house, coming home late one hot night he ran outta fuel halfway along the drive, he left the old Ford Cortina there in the paddock figuring that he worry about it in the morning and went to bed, unfortunately he forgot to roll up the windows which were all open, due to the heat.
When he awoke in the morning he found the car surrounded by cows with their heads in the windows all happily munching away at the cars upholstery, the dash top, seats, head lining, door trims etc were eaten! The seat were stipped to the springs!
Must've been very tasty. in the following days he found bits of the vinyl upholstery and bits of plastic in cow pats all over the place.
