That works for a while, except it's very slow and much too active of a business. With a proper cow/wheat farm, you have to act at most every 5 minutes to feed the cows, and you get 1.5x the cows each time. Assuming you only breed them every 20 minutes, so they're fully matured, here's a yield table.

With a reasonable stop time of 4 hours, and assuming 2 leather/cow and 3 beef/cow, you can get around 10 stacks of beef and 7 stacks of leather. That'd be quite a lucky 4-hour hunt, and of course, you'd have to actively be working those 4 hours. How abominable! inbreeding cows.
