Cows in America derive most of their calories from corn. And while most Montana cows generally live on land unsuitable for crops, Montana only has a small fraction of American cows.

And I believe that your comments are even less true in other prominent cattle producing countries than America.

And in Denmark?

[bryanlarsen]

No Montana like semi-deserts in Denmark.

I mean, what are the standards in Denmark in terms of land use? grass fed vs grain fed, etc. Since the article is referring to Denmark.

[rvense]

As far as I know, mostly soy. A lot of it from South America.

[bryanlarsen]

Grass-fed beef in Denmark would necessarily be raised on viable crop land, so would displace an order of magnitude more cropland than grain fed beef.

[tracker1]

Grass doesn't grow on hills, or soil with lots of stone/rocks that would be prohibitively expensive to turn into cropland? Not to mention that cropland using regenerative farming, or anything actually sustainable, should include grazing animal rotation.

Denmark doesn't have a significant amount of those. It's pretty flat and rock free.
