It is ironic that Mormons are encouraged to store food,
since the cattle concentration camps of the LDS
and other animal flesh investments of the Church are a cause of famine, drought and world hunger.

Intrinsic cruelty in cattle concentration camps
Exhausted Old Dairy Cows Pushed by Forklift Against Fence
Cows Kicked, Smashed, Poked With Poles, Electroshocked
Mormon Investment in Animal Agony, Global Heating,
World Hunger, Heart Attacks, Strokes, Cancer, Food
Poisoning, Energy Waste
300,000 acres of Florida ranches are a factor
in the drying up of the Everglades, drought,
and global heating.
Deseret Ranches refers to the ranching operations of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Central Florida. The Ranches include several organizations. Some are Deseret Ranches of Florida, Deseret Cattle and Citrus, Taylor Creek Management, East Central Florida Services, Agreserves, and Farmland Reserve. Located 7 miles (11 km) east of the Orlando International Airport Deseret Ranches was one of the largest cow-calf ranches in the United States in 2001. This ranch, owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Florida, spreads over the three central Florida counties of Osceola, Orange, and Brevard. Covering almost 300,000 acres (1200 km²) of land Deseret Ranch is home to 90 ranchers, their families, and 44,000 cows (described by the
LDS as 'head of cattle'.)

The English language?

You have a problem with THAT?
I don't mind in the least if you would prefer changes to the language, but whatever your complaints against the LDS folks surely you can't be faulting them for using standard farming English.
And it WOULD be 44,000 "head of cattle" and not 44,000 COWS unless they had a lot more head than 44,000 on those ranches (some would be heifers, some would be calves of both sexes, some might even be steers, and if they aren't using exclusively AI, some would be bulls).
Normal to sell beef cattle as "yearlings" so in a beef operation 44,000 COWS would probably be about 120,000-80,000 HEAD of cattle (depending on whether the previous year's yearlings have gone to market or not (would be well after the current year's calves were born as "yearlings" perhaps 18 months old)
MDN
the point is that language is used to normalise abuse

I'm not sure if the Mormons are any worse than other major religions in supporting animal abuse though, with perhaps the exception of some of the Eastern religions.
