There is a book called "The World Without Us" that looks into this. The book imagines what would happen if all humans just disappeared one day. There was a chapter about animals. Cows and other livestock are defenceless with humans keeping away predators. In addition, due to sheer size and number of the modern food cows, there would not be enough natural grassland to support them and they over consume the land and/or split off from each other making it easier for predation
The neat thing, the modern house cat would become the top predator in the urban environment as all cats retain their natural hunting instincts. They'll pretty much eat all of the small animals found in the urban setting
