Well....
American bison (buffalo) numbered 30-60 million in the 1800s. Domestic cows currently number 35 million. Cows and bison are both bovines and produce similar emissions. So, no net emissions.

But we are not talking about bison, we are talking about cows.
Though I would be interested in the numbers if they were to include bison in the stats....

Looks tasty.
I used the number for beef cows only from the USDA since we are discussing cows that are eaten, not all cows.This site claims 90 million cattle in the U.S.

Both bison and cows are bovines and both consumed. Bison were part of the natural ecosystem and once number 30-60 million. Their historic numbers are comparable to the current number of cows. The point is that the emissions of gasses from cows today are comparable to the historical emissions of bison, which were always a part of nature and its cycles. The numbers are less relevant than the point that cow emissions are part of natural cycles and not additive to them.
