[quote=Anonymous][quote]To return to that farm analogy above, that's actually a pretty good analogy. If the livestock is underweight, it's the farmer's responsibility to look at the whole picture, rather than either blaming the scale and throwing it away or rushing to just fire the farmhands. Do you have enough feed and is it the right kind? Do you have enough farmhands? Lots more questions need to be asked by the farmer, rather than just firing and punishing. If the farmer isn't doing that, it's a sign that he's incompetent and there needs to be accountability.[/quote]

One thing that may be wrong on the farm could be the soil composition.  Maybe that is what is causing the feed grass to be bad (let's say it's cows).  Maybe the problem is with the feed manufacturer and not with the farmer.   Maybe the farmer has been forced to buy feed from a certain manufacturer and some of the pigs require different feed and maybe even the slop that comes from the farmer's own kitchen has been more productive for the pigs in the past.  Maybe the whole scale idea is not getting at the real root of the problems.  Maybe the whole operation is a bit more complex.   [/quote]
