No, it wouldn't. There wouldn't be enough profit motive in that for it to come about as you describe. Rather, the banning of CAFOs would force the determination and implementation of a more space-, resource- and cost-efficient means, one which would be a solution to the nutritional, ethical, and generational-environmental dilemmas that the current permissive stance toward the meat industry and its practices currently precludes.But speaking of global warming, regarding that pasture finishing you want. That would increase land usage for U.S. cattle by the size of Wyoming, increase water usage by U.S. cattle 35%, and last but not least, the piece de resistance, increase greenhouse gas emissions by U.S. cattle 500%.
