Living in one of those areas (Colorado), I'd say about 1/3 of the U.S. is suited
only
for grazing.  Crops are grown in some of this area only with the help of
well irrigation, using fossil water from aquifers which are going down yearly.
The prairies of the U.S. supported many millions of buffalo (bison) in the past.

Cattle are a little tougher on the pasture, because they do not normally range
as widely, but with intelligent management, could be supported equally well.
