If I’m reading the abstract correctly, the actual claim is that if you raise cattle on pasture, the methane and CO2 they emit are fully or close-to-fully offset by the carbon sequestered by the pasture. It also says this is not true for partially pastured, partially confined cattle fed on grain and grain byproducts. Which is to say, beef can be produced in a carbon-neutral way, but not on the scale Burgerlanders expect it to be.
basically replace all cattle ranching (also kill all cattle ranchers) with a return to multi-million head bison herds freely roaming the plains managed by indigenous nations who can choose to export whatever amount they feel like
it also means you cant overgraze that pasture, cos that degrades it and releases the captured carbon, which probably precludes most pasture grazed cattle as well.
