That video is BS. lol
6.5 million burgers a day ( globally) is about 1500 cows per day.
They usually source their meat in from the countries where the burgers are sold. It's no great mystery. in the US they get the meat from the US. In Canada, they get it from Canadian suppliers.
They're in 120 countries. An average of 12.5 cows per day per country average. It's not some staggering number of cows. Easily sustainable.

finished beef cow yields roughly:
450 lbs of edible beef (after processing)
A McDonald’s hamburger patty is about 1.6 oz (raw weight)
(Quarter Pounder is 4 oz, but the basic hamburger is 1.6 oz)
450 lbs × 16 oz/lb = 7,200 oz usable beef
7,200 oz ÷ 1.6 oz per hamburger ≈ 4,500 hamburgers per cow
Step 2 — Daily McDonald's numbers
Using the earlier estimate of ≈ 6.5 million burgers per day:
6,500,000 burgers ÷ 4,500 burgers per cow ≈ 1,444 cows per day
Final Estimate
💡 McDonald's goes through roughly 1,400–1,500 cows per day
