Jill's strategy of reducing the number of cattle to allow the grass to recover is based on the principle that overgrazing by too many cattle can damage grasslands, making it difficult for grass to grow back. Reducing the number of cattle can indeed lead to a situation where the remaining cattle might preferentially eat the more palatable grasses, potentially increasing competition between grasses and weeds. If the cattle eat the more desirable grasses and leave the weeds, this could lead to an increase in weeds, as the grasses are not able to compete effectively.
