Locals could drive to the farm, park their cars, and bring a bottle to the machine.

I just mean that they basically only exist in current times because they generate value for humans. I'm not saying it's the way it should be but it's just the way it is. They need a ton of space to graze and feed and without generating value they won't be given that
The vending machine became wildly popular.
It operates 24 hours a day, and Beynon-Thomas says people have queued up as early as 6.30am and as late as 2.30am
It's local and has low food miles
It was a way for the community to feel a sense of togetherness during lockdown
Business has boomed and the family has added a milkshake vending machine too, which has fans across the country
That's true, but if various companies were to ramp down production, populations would eventually reduce to numbers that can exist in the wild without our influence like other animals. Many would thrive. They only need so much space due to human supply and demand for milk and beef

It could be interesting, and likely nice for our forests and planet, for cows to be similar to deer; Deer are occasionally kept as pets, often hunted for their meat, rarely farmed, and thrive to the point of being an invasive species in some locations, which enables more hunting.
