As anyone in the cattle production sector can tell you raising cattle can be a very complex system. There are many different factors that come into play and if there is one thing that goes wrong it can cause problems.
Say for example a disease breaks out in your herd. It will throw your whole system out of whack because you have to treat the animals and possibly quarantine them. Then there is the problem with lost production that will cause a problem with your profitability.
It is usual that when something goes wrong we simply fix the problem without fully understanding the “why?” it happened. With our lives busy enough finding the cause of the problem when something goes wrong is often not on the top of our priority list. But by understanding he why we can save time and money as well as reducing the severity if a problem does occur.
