It doesn’t matter because without them being born for meat they would live 0 years. No one is going to pay to feed an animal for 20 years when the prime butchering time is far less than that. It’s a huge waste of money and creation of greenhouse gases.
Cows wouldn’t exist if humans didn’t eat them or use them for labor. End of story.
If you’re making the argument that more of a being is always morally better than less, that is even more ridiculous than a conclusion from utilitarianism called “mere addition” or “the repugnant conclusion” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mere_addition_paradox
If we applied this logic to humans we would end up in a nightmare world.

The only good human is a human I can eat? I kinda like where that is going
I guess wars and murder etc are ok then. The victims just never should’ve been born!
