"The world will be over-populated by cows!"
You have to remember that cows and other farm animals are domesticated. Obviously, they won't be bred nearly as much if there is a decreased demand for them. Those who took care of farm animals may wish to separate sexes to prevent them from breeding as much.Those who kept farm animals would obviously not let them out in the wild to fend for themselves, since they are domesticated animals.
The worldwide consuming of animal flesh actually puts many more livestock animals on this planet at a time, since it keeps the demand for meat up. The demand for it has been increasing pretty steadily.
Another thing to think about is that mass vegetarianism is not going to happen overnight. The demand for meat will decrease quite gradually, thus the supply will. Much less cows will be bred.
