Only 75% of cows seems super... looowwwe.
(I'll show myself out)
But seriously, 25% of our beef is not wild caught. We don't have herds of wild cattle.
The definitions of factory farming they use here are based on the number of individuals per location. There are other metrics you may object to for the rest of that 25% too
For instance

I should also note that without demand for US beef and dairy production and consumption decreasing that's not something that can change all that much because there just isn't enough land for it
