Farming is a tough business, maybe one of the hardest kinds of businesses. With animals it can be like parenting at times. One can't just leave critters to their own devices. They manage to get into all kinds of perilous adventures. Which is kind of a double whammy in the business world. On one hand there is the business and marketing aspect. On the other side there are the logistics of not just manufacturing, maintanence, and repair, but actually keeping animals comfortable and well cared for. Any farmer will tell you that that is a job all by itself. Maybe it is why many farmers prefer to stay specialized on the farm and leave the marketing and manufacturing aspect to others.
