The grasses survive by overproducing seeds, which are blown around in the wind and scattered. Note that birds, such as chickens, are also quite fond of these seeds.< Some seeds eaten by birds, and I imagine a certain amount eaten by cows and other ruminents both domestic and wild, pass through the digestive system without being broken down, exiting at the other end(sorry, I know it's early) surrounded by fertilizer. Some plants have evolved seed bearing fruit and seed structures in order to take advantage of this kind of "transport". Willow
