The bigger problem though isn't that you'd have to stop breeding more... if this all came about quite suddenly, rather than a gradual reduction in herd sizes / the number of farms, you'd have to actually cull the herds that are already alive. Keeping livestock is expensive, the expense is covered by them being sold for animal produce. If all of a sudden it's impossible to make any money (and therefore, impossible to support them) then you basically have to either deliberately kill them, or let them freeze / starve over winter.
