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.

How many cows does it take to eat a gorilla?
None, because cows don't eat meat.
How many pigs are killed every day in the US?
It is impossible to tell because average consumption is based on the amount of meat or beef consumed per day (or year), not "how many cows [that] are eaten...[per] day." Thus the question has no merit no matter how you try to look at it.
How many people killed by cows per year in the UK?
One web site suggests 2.6 million cattle are slaughtered in the UK every year. That works out to some 7000 per day. However, the UK also imports beef from the Netherlands, Germany, Uruguay, Argentina, South America, and elsewhere around the world. An analysis of supermarket purchases suggest about half the beef consumed in the UK is imported, which would raise the total number of cows eaten per day a bit over ten thousand. The population of the UK is 61 million. Not all of those 61 million will eat beef every day, but what is ten thousand cows divided among 61 million people? There is about 400 lbs of meat per cow, or 4 million pounds of meat per day, which works out to about 1 oz per person per day. That is probably pretty accurate, considering that some of those 61 million are vegetarians, and some don't eat beef every day. A nice 7 oz steak or hamburger per person per week--the figure we derived (10,000/day) is probably pretty close.
How many pounds of meat does a tiger eat in a day?
Adult tigresses and lionesses need from ten to twelve pounds of meat a day to remain vigorous and healthy, but can and often do eat forty pounds at one sitting in the wild. Males of both species can eat up to 80 pounds at one meal, and need around 15 pounds a day for good health.
Are jersey cows good to eat?
Yes they can be; however if they are older mature cows they're meat quality will be like old mature cows are: a little tough and stringy and lean, best to be served as hamburger. However, as for a jersey steer being butchered, I have heard that jersey meat is quite tender and flavourful.
How many cows does it take to equal 1 million pounds of consumer beef products?

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.
