The cow is not killed when butter is harvested. But they do need to be fed, so I’m not sure about that.

In case you’re being serious, I’m pretty sure we’d need magnitudes more land and methane emissions for butter.

Animals take up a ton more space than do plants. I’m sure you’ve heard all the arguments at some point for moving away from meat. I’m not going to rehash them (especially since I’m a meat eater), but it’s just a question of how many magnitudes more land cows would use, not if they would use more land.

I was being serious; figure up the tons per hectare per year of butter production.

Google says 250kg per hectare, So about 6% of palm oil productivity. About 15x the land usage.
