I don't think the main issue is with farming in general, but with factory farming. Raising farm animals in a humane way is a huge improvement.

Right, I'd expect the same thing as with horses and other work animals: once the tech makes them obsolete and the current generation dies out, they'll still be around, but for more niche, boutique uses (racing, riding around the ranch, visiting schoolchildren), not the dystopia they had been put through before.
