The grazing area, perhaps misleadingly, includes arid areas such as most of Nevada. To imply that the density of grazing animals is consistent across those areas is a bit irresponsible.

A little bit, but by weight our meat animals really are that dominant on the continent. Wildlife is vanishingly rare now and is mostly semi-domesticated like mice, raccoons, rats, fox, deer, etc.
