Since no carcass weight is the same, we will only use the average carcass weight taken from a Hereford-Angus cross steer that was finished at 1400 lbs. Doing the math, the carcass weight (dressing yield) of a 1400 lb steer is 0.58 x 1400 = 812 lbs. Then the amount of ready-to-eat meat (meat deboned and after cooking) from that carcass weight is 686 x 0.49 = 400 lbs.
However, assuming by "meat" you are referring to the meat off the carcass and not from that cut off the carcass and cooked, we will use the carcass weight for this question.
Thus, the number of animals it takes to get 560,000,000 lb of meat is:
560,000,000/812 = 689655.1724 = ~689,656 cattle.

Why is the meat from cows are more costly to produce than carbohydrates in potatoes?
Cows are higher on the food chain, than potatoes. You can grow potatoes and then eat them, or you can grow vegetation of some kind (such as grass - but cows will also eat potatoes) and feed it to cows, who will then grow, and eventually be ready to be slaughtered and eaten. The usual estimate I have seen is that it takes ten pounds of vegetation eaten by a herbivore such as a cow, to make one pound of edible meat. So you can either have ten pounds of potatoes, or, if you feed them to your cow, one pound of meat. Hence, per pound the meat is more expensive. And that is aside from all the additional work that goes into caring for cows while they are alive, and butchering them when they are dead. Much more labor is involved.
