Bison in particular have such a beneficial effect on soil retention, aeration, and quality, that some scientists view them as part of the solution as opposed to part of the problem. Their grazing patterns literally turn everything they touch into more efficient carbon sinks.
If this idea is to extend to other livestock, it would do wonders for swine, chicken, sheep, and goat carbon intensity as well, but it probably will never be enough to compensate for cow methane emissions.
