Use the word ruminant for any cud-chewing animal, like a cow or a camel.

A ruminant is a mammal with hooves and a complicated system of stomach compartments whose digestion works by chewing partly digested food a second time in order to soften it. Cows, moose, giraffes, and goats are all ruminants. The Latin meaning of ruminant is literally "chewing over again" or "chewing the cud." A similar word is ruminate, which comes from the same root and means "think deeply about something."
