If we all gave up eating meat - what would happen?

First of all, the farmers and ranchers would kill off like 99.9% of all the critters - cows are just too expensive to keep if they aren't going to market and showing a profit.

Second, of all, if we got rid of all the cows - would we end up with dust storms? All the cow pee and poop serves to fertilize the earth and allow for plants to grow. Just as we had the dust bowls of the 1930's hit the great Plains after the mighty herds of bugffalo had disappeared for two or three generations - would cows demise mean soemthing that we need and count on would also disappear?
