    But natural ruminants like deer would take up places cows were removed from. They will have the same emissions as cows per unit biomass

      Says who, got any source on that? Do we have any evidence for both assumptions, specifically the second?

      As far as I know, natural herds of ruminants can actually help keep carbon in the ground. The natural population density is also much lower compared to modern factory farms.
